Friday, 14th April
Guided tours of Castro Vinhos de Portugal | 3 p.m. (Prior booking required)
Free entry | Contacts: 252 378 794 and geral@vinhoscastro.com
Castro Vinhos de Portugal was born out of a Passion. The family's passion for creating unique, singular wines, with market differentiation. Much more than a wine producing company, it is a place, which can offer countless experiences. In the vineyard visit, visitors may learn about its culture, its castes and characteristics of the region. The visit to the winery allows to know the whole process of vinification, conservation, filling, labelling and functionality of the equipment, culminating with a tasting of the house wine. Perfectly supplying the national market and having great capacity to supply a good part of its international expectations, Castro stands out for the quality and innovation of its wines, being a company, which seeks to differentiate itself in the world of green wines.
Note: This activity is accessible to people with specific needs. There is parking for people with reduced mobility.
