Our producer
Our farm is a large, restored early-1800s family-owned vineyard estate, located between the Silves, Monchique, and Lagoa in the Algarve.
The estate was founded in 1810 by the count of Silves and is still in the possession of the family—and it’s a family story where a passion for the land, food, and entertaining merges with a love of local heritage, beauty, and conservation.
Working with the historic buildings and the old vineyards and olive trees that surround them, we have created a thoughtful place with love and attention on every detail.
The estate’s vineyards are some of the oldest in the Algarve and provide the indigenous grapes, which make up our award-winning wines, and around the estate, there are cottages that can host guests who want to be part of our history.
We hope you experience a real connection to the land, the seasons, and to nature, and we invite you to rest, relax, and enjoy this Algarve country idyll.
A long table is set daily at the estate, and this time, you’re our guest.
Our farm
We gather under our 2.000-year-old tree overlooking old Negramole vines, at our vintage olive press, or inside the main house and share a simple but tasty three-course menu paired with three to four wines. After the casual lunch, delight in the fascinating stories of Algarve’s landmark vineyard estate over coffee or as you stroll the property in the presence of our resident vineyard manager.

Such a unique experience! The vineyard setting was stunning, and the cooking workshop was both fun and informative.

This workshop exceeded my expectations! Not only did we learn new cooking techniques, but the whole experience felt so peaceful and immersive in the vineyard setting. The food was fresh and delicious, and pairing it with local wine made it even better. It was a perfect way to connect with nature and food
