Herdade Canal Caveira - Visit & Picnic

It is on the Alentejo coast, at the confluence of two great Portuguese wine-growing regions, Setúbal and the Alentejo, that we find Herdade Canal Caveira.

Cradled by the foothills of the Grândola Mountains, the estate receives the maritime influence of the Alentejo Coast, land of a unique and original microclimate.  It has an area of 45 hectares, 25 of which are vineyards and the rest are olive trees, orange trees, cork oaks, holm oaks, arbutus and pine trees.

By the road IC1, before the stop for the famous "Cozido à Portuguesa", stands the emblematic house in the shape of a castle, greeting those who travel to the Algarve. The vineyards stretching out in the sun, break between the lap of the stream, and the side of the road.

The winery brings us the proof. In a virtuous reality, the view from the top floor divides itself widely between the village, the mountains and the plain, while the tinkling of the glasses stirs the smell and the taste of the nectars produced here.

With mostly sandy soils, wide temperature range and Atlantic influence, Herdade Canal Caveira produces elegant, complex and persistent wines. A perfect terroir for quality wines and demanding connoisseurs.

This is the reality we invite you to get to know. You will take part in a guided, commented and documented tour of the estate, where a historical background of the estate, the region and a detailed explanation of the winemaking process used to produce Herdade Canal Caveira wines will be given. After the guided tour, it will be time to gather your basket of regional products and set off to discover the perfect spot in the middle of the vineyard to spread out your towel and enjoy a typical Alentejo picnic, composed by cheeses, sausages, olive oil, bread, fruit and cookies, among others. A bottle of Herdade Canal Caveira wine will accompany the meal.

We invite you to come and visit us.
