The image of Coelheiros reflects their connection to the land, their origins, and their traditions. Inspired by the art of Arraiolos embroidery, it evokes the uniqueness of each block and each grape variety, and the way they are meticulously crafted, stitch by stitch, yet always integrated as a whole, in perfect symbiosis with nature. Synonymous with consistency and resilience, this centuries-old art expresses the distinctive profile of our wines: wines with longevity that evolve over time.
Herdade de Coelheiros is a family-owned winery founded in 1991 in the Alentejo wine region. Its wines have a deep connection with the natural environment, preserving the region's traditions and maintaining balance with its ecosystem. The property boasts 50 hectares of vineyards and 40 hectares of walnut orchards. Animals such as deer, sheep, ducks, rabbits, and hares are common in the region. Joaquim and Leonilde Silveira purchased the winery in 1981 and planted the vineyards. By 1996, Herdade de Coelheiros' wines had received numerous international recognitions and several prestigious awards. In 2015, a whole new chapter began when Alberto Weisser and Gabriela Mascioli acquired the property and took over the business.

Write a reviewA fantastic tasting experience, I would really recommend you go here for a tasting or tour if you like organic wine and supporting family run vineyards. I booked my wine tasting via email on the same day, and the staff who ran my tasting were incredibly friendly, lovely and informative. The wines were great, especially the COELHEIROS and the TACO wine. Thank you for a great experience.

The sunset in the Alentejo montado is an experience I recommend. Especially on Valentine's Day!

Very beautiful vineyard. And they have good wine too! We came here to do a tour and a wine tasting. The jeep tour is unique and we got to see several different aspects of what they grow and produce at Coelheiros. This place is amazingly beautiful around sunset! It was really cool to see how cork trees grow and how cork is harvested. The wine tasting afterwards was done in their “store” which is nicely arranged. I loved the solid wood tables. Favorite wine was probably the White Tapada de Coelheiros. So tasty!

We chose to taste 5 wines and products from Alentejo. Wonderful view of the finca and better explanations from our guide Catarina.

This was a magical experience. I could not recommend it more. Tapada de Coelheiros sits in Igrejinha, a town near Evora. We were told about the Jeep tour and tasting by family and are beyond grateful that they had found this in the Alentejo region. There were several different options of tours, tastings and food offerings and we were able to choose from on their website. We arrived and were promptly escorted to two classic Jeeps to take a tour around the property. We were able to see everything from the vines to the walnut trees to the cork trees and even saw sheep. It was fascinating to learn that cork is harvested from the trees every 9 years and only done while grape harvesting (September) because the bark needs to be dry. We learned about what it took for the farm to become organic and all the local projects being done with the university in Evora. You can see that the team is constantly learning and applying what they have learned to their work to make each year's production better and better. I have been on numerous wine tours and tastings and this is by far the standout of any of them I have ever been to whether it was in California, Chile or the Douro Valley. What I appreciated most about this unique experience was learning about the regenerative farming done at Coelheiros as this isn’t something I’ve heard many vineyards discuss. Our tour guide's English was great and clear. I can’t forget to mention how absolutely beautiful the property is. There are several picnic tables set up throughout the property that offer breathtaking views where we were able to stop and take in the view. I saw on their website that you could take a sunset tasting which I can only imagine how stunning that would be. Now the wine tasting. The tasting room was beautiful and open. I enjoyed that we had a beautiful view of the landscape while tasting. We tried several wines and I loved the 'Terroir' series. The 2020 Sobreira was my favorite with the 2014 Taco being second. My one complaint is that I wanted our guide to tell us more stories behind the wines. I did love hearing that the vineyard chose to keep the culture of the area as part of the label with the tapestry design and that the names of the wines are all based on parts of the farm. Finally, we loved that we could order wine to be shipped home to share with our friends. We can’t wait to go back!
