Here is what's in store for you
Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Caves Velhas, intricately woven with the legacy of João Camillo Alves, a pioneering figure in Portugal's wine industry. The heart of this narrative unfolds at the historic Caves Velhas building, nestled in Bucelas, the capital of Arinto, where the restoration project now welcomes guests for visits, tastings, and wine-related events, offering you the opportunity to savor wines steeped in rich stories and memories.
Venturing to Quinta do Boição, acquired by Caves Velhas in 1989, you'll be greeted by vineyards with vines that have weathered over 70 years, predominantly showcasing the indigenous Arinto grape variety. After your captivating vineyard tour at Quinta do Boição, your journey continues into the heart of their cellars. The Arinto grape, thriving in its genetic diversity-rich homeland of Bucelas, is the star here, producing wines renowned for their remarkable minerality and naturally high acidity. This exceptional combination allows these wines to age gracefully without losing the distinct qualities of the region.
But the adventure doesn't stop there; next, you'll embark on a journey to Caves Velhas, a place steeped in history and tradition. Here, you'll have the privilege of savoring 4 exceptional wines, each a testament to the dedication and expertise of the winemakers. These wines will be thoughtfully paired with artisanal cheeses, creating a delightful synergy of flavors that invites you to savor the true essence of this wine tasting adventure.
