    Wine Tourism
    in Tejo

    Visit the 1947 cellar, walk the vineyards and taste the wines where they are born. One of the most authentic wine tourism experiences within an hour of Lisbon.

    One estate. Eight generations. A 1947 cellar.

    Pinhal da Torre sits in Alpiarça, at the heart of the Tejo floodplain — one of Portugal's oldest and most undervalued wine regions. Our cellar, built in 1947 and still in use, houses the country's only Algerian concrete vats.

    We are just 1h from Lisbon by motorway — which makes Pinhal da Torre the ideal wine tourism destination for a day trip or an immersive weekend.
