CENTER - Central Nacional do Turismo no Espaço Rural

Portugal has always been a wine producing country. From north to south, east and west, different soils, grapes and climatic conditions allow for the production of a vast range of quality wines. These wines symbolise the dedication and patient work of many generations that have continued a tradition of quality and reputation recognized throughout the world.
The harvest season varies according to the vintage and region. It usually takes place between the end of August and the middle of October when the valleys and mountains are ablaze in tones of gold and red. CENTER is glad to advise you on how to participate in this colourful and joyful event of grape harvesting, to organise wine tasting any time of the year, learn the terminology and experience new and unforgettable sensations.
