DESCRIPTION
Learn the art and science of wine blending in a three-hour, hands-on workshop that takes you from the vineyard to the tasting room—culminating in your very own custom bottle of wine. With expert guidance and all the tools provided, this immersive experience introduces you to the fundamentals of winemaking in a relaxed, engaging setting.
Your journey begins with a guided tour of the winery, offering behind-the-scenes insight into the production process and what it means to become a winemaker at Quinta dos Vales. In the barrel cellar, you’ll explore how the age and origin of oak barrels shape the evolution of our wines.
As you walk through the surrounding vineyards, your guide will share the stories behind our grape varieties, how they’re cultivated, and why the Algarve’s climate and soil are key to producing award-winning wines.
The experience continues in the tasting room, where you’ll sample a selection of young wines for analysis and blending—accompanied by a curated spread of regional cheeses, cured meats, and other local delicacies.
With your senses as your guide, you’ll experiment until you find your perfect blend. Then, bottle, cork, and label your creation to take home—a unique expression of your personal taste and a lasting memory of your time at the estate.
