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!

Excellent experience

This was a great experience - the owner treated this like a conversation rather than a tasting. It was all very personal and accessible, the wines were delicious and free flowing and the accompanying food was very tasty. An excellent couple of hours spent!

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.

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!
