Arvad Wine

Arvad was born in 2016, on a property next to Arade river, overlooking Silves.

There are nine hectares of land, exposed to the winds from the North, which allows great daily thermal amplitudes. A Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence, complemented by a calcareous clay soil, in which the weight of history is combined.

It was in this region that wine was introduced into Portuguese territory. Brought from the east by Phoenician travelers, took root in the Silves area, and through the word of exchange and discovery, became a ritual, as proof of civilization.

Arvad, once a word for “haven”, which today applies to the care and quality of our wines, made either from red grape varieties such as Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional or Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as white grape varieties, Alvarinho, Arinto and Sauvignon Blanc.

A process under the responsibility of engineer Bernardo Cabral, an award-winning winemaker, and whose first winemaking took place in 2019.


Wine Tourism

Each visit allows a journey through the process of time and the dedication of the harvest.

A place can also be tasted. Here you'll find a narrative of flavour, through the vineyards walks and the boat rides along the Arade river currents.

Whether arriving by water or by land, the tasting takes place in the winery, where the memory that lingers in the hand of the harvest meets the waiting of the barrels.

On our winery’s porch, where the sun is set on the banks of history, regional delicacies set the tone for the ultimate word, the pouring of a glass and the taste of our wine.


Winery

Here, a visit is a narrative of flavour, through red grape varieties such as Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Negra Mole, or white grape varieties such as Alvarinho, Arinto and Sauvignon Blanc, and a feeling that rises from the first vines up until the last pouring of a glass.
