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.
