José Maria da Fonseca, located in Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, Setúbal, invites you to get to know the essence of a wine family with almost 200 years of history.
In this experience for groups, we invite you to exercise a profession that is not your own for a day! The "winemaker for a day" program is designed to appeal to anyone who is curious about learning more about wine and wants to get their “hands dirty”, in this case, their hands in the wine!
The activity begins with a visit to the Museum Room, with a brief explanation of the history of José Maria da Fonseca. After a walk through the garden, we'll visit the wineries: Adega da Mata, where Periquita wine is matured, Adega dos Teares Novos, where the Periquita Brotherhood is held every year, and Adega dos Teares Velhos, where the house's oldest muscatels are stored.
After the visit, it will be time to participate in the blending activity, where there will be an explanation of each grape variety used, the type of soil, oenological characteristics, the process the wine went through in the cellar, among other relevant topics. At the end, participants will be able to personalize/sign their own label and take their blend home.
Enjoy this immersive, educational and memorable experience, which will turn you into the creator of your own wine for a day.
Highlights:
- Guided tour of the House-Museum;
- Tasting of 3 single-varietal wines;
- Wine Blending Workshop.
