It’s always great to have a visit to wineries in Tejo as they keep their doors opened all year round for the guests. For those who prefer pleasant warm weather in a less crowded period spring is the perfect season for it. However, if you prefer to watch the harvest season and want to get a first-hand experience of picking grapes autumn is for you.
In summer, when the days are longer there are endless possibilities to explore the cities around with their impressive architecture and enjoying a glass of wine.

Most of the wineries in Tejo are family-owned with long winemaking history. Some of them still produce wines using traditional methods. More recently, the traditional way of winemaking was combined with modern technologies and innovations.

Wineries in the Tejo wine region offer numerous facilities such as kid activities, reduced mobile access, bus parking for group of tourists and most of them allow to have a pet. Check out the listing of wine tastings and tours in Tejo.

Winemaking here is part of the cultural code, and the diversity of the soil brings to life an unimaginable number of approaches to the production of wine (usually medium-acid, moderately fruity, and always high-quality). In the red segment of wine, Touriga Nacional is very popular: local winemakers use it in monosort wines and together with other red autochthons – for examples, such as Castelao, Trincadeira, and Aragones. The white wines are dominated by the aromatic, slightly spicy Fernao Pires and Arinto and Alvarinho descended from Vinho Verde.
