Embark on a private and exclusive journey that celebrates the soul of our terroir, beginning with an exhilarating off-road expedition in a Defender jeep through our historic vineyards. To provide an immediate connection to the land, we open a bottle of wine directly within the plots where it was grown, offering a contextualized tasting as we discuss our minimal-intervention philosophy and the viticultural care dedicated to each vine. After exploring the countryside, the experience moves inside the winery for a guided masterclass featuring five of our signature bottled wines, artfully paired with a board of regional delicacies including artisanal cheeses, chorizo, and estate-produced olive oil.
The day culminates in a truly atmospheric setting: the former hayloft of Grandfather Zé, now a beautifully restored wine tourism hall. Here, you will enjoy a traditional meal featuring lamb slowly cooked in a clay pot over an open fireplace, followed by authentic regional desserts. From the rugged landscape of the vineyard to the warm glow of the dinner table, this immersive experience offers a genuine and memorable celebration of regional culture and winemaking tradition.

Write a reviewBravo, truly, sincerely bravo! Knowing how to share, engage, and introduce wine lovers to the magic of wine is exactly what we hope for from this experience, and that's precisely what Maria delivered. But far more than a marketing ploy in an increasingly digital world, it's the human experience that truly stands out! From the family history and warm welcome to the authentic offerings and inviting atmosphere, and the local dishes perfectly complementing the excellent wines! A truly flawless experience that makes you want to return very soon with friends or family! For a French woman like myself, who immigrated to Portugal, this is the quintessential example of Portuguese simplicity and hospitality. I can't wait to go back!

Loved our wine tasting session! Maria was absolutely amazing, very informative and so lovely and easy to talk to! The wine was really good (we bought some to go) and the cheese bread and olive oil was delicious too! It’s a really intimate relaxing atmosphere and setting. Highly highly recommend- would come back again!

Our visit to Margaval / Adega da Gaveta was truly unforgettable. Maria was an outstanding guide, combining warmth with deep knowledge, and she made every part of the tour come alive. We tasted an impressive range of wines and local distilled spirits, perfectly paired with regional products that elevated the experience. The atmosphere was authentic and welcoming, and we couldn’t resist taking a few bottles home. We can’t wait to return to enjoy the vines, the wines, the incredible hospitality, and of course Paco.

We had an absolutely outstanding experience at Margaval Vinhos. From the moment we arrived, Maria welcomed us warmly and gave us a completely private tour through the family’s vineyards. The atmosphere is truly authentic and family oriented. Maria shared with us the fascinating story of the winery and made a genuine, personal connection that made the visit even more special. Afterwards, we toured the winery itself, where we received an in depth explanation of the winemaking process. Of course, we also enjoyed an incredible tasting that included a wide variety of their wines, distilled alcohol, and local products. The entire experience was a perfect 10/10 , nothing was missing. This is exactly the kind of authentic, warm, and enriching winery visit I always hope to find. The wines were excellent, diverse, refreshing, and unique, and the food was delicious.
