In Alto Minho, Paço do Curutelo stands out as a unique setting to experience the world of Vinho Verde wines, set within the exclusive surroundings of Vila Galé Collection Ponte de Lima. Surrounded by carefully cultivated vineyards, with Loureiro, Alvarinho, Avesso, and Arinto as key grape varieties, the estate reflects the wine identity and landscape of one of northern Portugal’s most authentic regions.
The experience begins with a guided visit to the winery led by the resident winemaker, who shares insights into local production and the estate’s deep connection to the land. In a contemporary architectural space with privileged views over the vineyards, you will discover the balance between tradition and innovation that defines the wines of the Lima sub-region. During the visit, you will also have the opportunity to taste wines directly from the tanks, allowing you to experience the wine in its youngest and most expressive state.
The program culminates with an exclusive wine lunch served in the winery’s tasting room, featuring live show cooking. The meal is paired with a guided tasting of three distinct wines, carefully harmonized with the three courses of the menu, creating a true sensory journey through the flavors and wines of Paço do Curutelo.
An experience designed to be shared, savored, and remembered, ideal for those seeking more than a simple visit and looking for a genuine connection to wine, land, and tradition.
