Patchwork Wine Tasting at Soalheiro in the Monção & Melgaço Valley

Immerse yourself in the birthplace of Alvarinho and explore its incredible diversity at Soalheiro.

Monção and Melgaço form a valley surrounded by mountains, where Alvarinho first took root and became a local tradition. Over the last 50 years, the family's first vineyard has grown into the heart of a patchwork landscape — a mosaic of small plots, each with distinct characteristics. Every plot tells a different story from vineyards in the valley to those on mountain slopes, next to the river, or cultivated organically. This tasting highlights how these unique terroirs shape Alvarinho, showcasing wines that truly reflect their origins.

This experience at Soalheiro includes visiting the herbal tea fields, the family's first vineyard, and a tour of the winery, sparkling wine cellar, and innovation cellar. You will also enjoy a panoramic view with an interpretation of the Monção and Melgaço Valley. The tasting features a selection of Soalheiro’s Alvarinho wines, including Soalheiro Alvarinho (Clássico), Soalheiro Granit, Soalheiro Mosto Flor, Soalheiro Cota 27, Soalheiro Primeiras Vinhas, Soalheiro Terramatter, and Soalheiro Reserva, along with a tasting of Pur Terroir herbal teas.
