Discover the authentic soul of the Algarve in an intimate tasting at Quinta João Clara, a family estate with roots stretching back to the 1970s in Alcantarilha. Guided by the third generation of the family, you’ll hear the story of João Clara’s beginnings, the vision of Joaquim João who revealed a new face of Algarve wines, and the strength of the women who now carry that dream forward. Their vineyards include Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and the cherished old Negra Mole “Garden,” along with newly planted white varieties inspired by Joaquim’s notes.

During the tasting, the family and winemaker personally lead you through five carefully selected wines, each reflecting the richness of their diverse soils and the warmth of southern Portugal. This is a visit where heritage, passion, and landscape meet in every glass.

Small family winery. Friendly welcome, pleasant atmosphere. The wine made from Negra Mole is especially noteworthy.

A lovely, boutique winery that has a true passion for wine making. The staff here were excellent, and I was able to meet the wine maker herself. This winery is 100% women owned and operated. The João Clara wines are outstanding. They all have excellent notes and you get a true sense of the art of wine making at this winery. There is no fluff - they let their wines stand on their own, which I appreciated. One of the highlights is their barrel room where they have 150 year old terracotta vats that are used to age some of their wines. It is an ancient method and it produces a wine that has outrageously good earth tones to it. Spend the extra Euros and buy a bottle. It is amazing. I encourage doing a tasting to get taste of the scope of their wines. I’m a particular fan of their Rosé, but their reds and Reserva is also outstanding.

We hadn't booked and didn't have much time, but we were given a private, simple tasting and a tour of the urns, barrels, and casks in which the various wines were stored, either wholly or partially. The package allowed us to buy three wines: white, rosé, and red, all of which are great for home storage. A real treat!

Today we visited Quinta João Clara! There couldn't be a better experience! We recommend you call or send an email in advance to make a reservation for a tasting, because Edith takes all her time to make your experience filled with quality time and quality wine! We enjoyed all the flavors so much and were listening to every word Edith had to say. Tremendous knowledge, love and passion. We will definitely recommend the wines and visit to anyone! Very happy!
