Tradition Meets Innovation

Founded in 1955 by Aníbal Silva Freitas, Fernão Pó Winery has expanded its operations and wine offerings over the decades.

Other varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Merlot, Alicante Bouschet, and Tannat. The estate also grows popular white grapes like Fernão Pires, Síria, Verdelho, Viosinho, and Moscatel, along with lesser-known varieties such as Franca, Perrum, and Caladoc. Visitors can see modern facilities, including stainless steel tanks with automatic cooling, oak barrels for aging, and a processing unit with a capacity of 1,000 tons.

A quiet travel parking lot. Warm and clean toilets and fresh water available. Moderate traffic on the passing road. Cars drove hard at night. The amount of flies was amazing.

We arrived in our campervan and were welcomed by a kind gentleman who showed us where to park and then went to get our welcome pack. The box had two bottles of wine and a small cheese. The toilets we were able to use were very clean and tidy and also water at hand for us. The pitch was level and next to the vine yards. No issues really

We had a stay at Fernão do Pó on 31st March. Nice location which was easy to find. We parked at the side of the Adega where we had access to water and the use of toilets. It’s a great location with easy walking around the vast vineyards that are in that area. Nice, helpful staff member who recommended wine and also a good walk for us to do.

We went to a wine tasting at the winery and loved the experience. João showed us around the winery and explained the entire wine production process! We also tasted 2 very good wines, along with some snacks, and all the while in the company of João and enjoying a pleasant conversation. We recommend it!
