A visit to many agradavel, with an excellent selection of 5 fantastic wines, accompanied by the lanche maravilhoso, with enchidos, queijos e pão da region. A visit with 5 vinhos and lanche, cost 15 euros per person. If you prefer to visit and try 3 vinhos, the price is 7.5 euros. Nos fiz3mos a de 15 euros and value a pena. A D. Lurdes, proprietaria da Quinta com o seu marido, foi quem nos fez a visita, e foi muito simpatica.

In order to work solidly on the English language in many parts of the Beira Interior region, it is almost always esquecida. A Quinta dos Termos tem hoje 3 Quintas (Pocinho, Lousa and esta). It is possible to have a visit, with direct reference. No one has anything to do with Miguel, who is amável and available for our explanations in both quests. There are lots of wines that are the same (mais de 30: between tintos, brancos, rosés and espumantes). Foi bom ver aposta em castas da regional, like Rufete, Marufo, Tinta Cal, Callum) e também em castas menos óbvias, que se revelam different nestes terroirs. Há vinhos de várias gamas e, arrisco, para todos os gostos.

Na Quinta dos Termos fomos muitíssimo bem recebidos pelo Miguel. Coming to a simpatico and professional incríveis, come to visit the market every day and find out about the history of the Quinta and the production of wines, starting with the film.

Recommendations for a visit to Quinta dos Termos and excellent, special, Miguel Pela excellent experience that is not appropriate.

The experience we had in the tours of the villa with the wine tasting was simply unique. The attention, kindness, friendliness and dedication of our host Miguel to explain every detail to us were simply exceptional. The harmony of talking about each process so that we understood everything was simply delightful, since it was our first time on a tour like this. Without leaving aside the fact that the experience of tasting each wine was wonderful. Miguel introduced us to the world of true appreciation of a good wine. Like that of the Quinta two thermoses.

We scheduled a tour for the afternoon. It was €10 per adult. It was highly informative and amazing that they produce 30 different wines. The vineyards were started in 1930 and have been expanded dramatically since 1996. I wish that we could have tasted more than 4 wines and would have been willing to pay an addition €10. Nice afternoon at a lovely farm.
