CASA MÃE DA ROTA DE VINHOS
The wine route of the "blue coast" reinforces the idea that the proximity of the ocean in this area between Setúbal, Palmela and Sesimbra, certainly contributes to the characteristics of the wines of this region of land of the Sado River. The reds of the Periquita grape variety, the whites of the Fernão Pires grape variety and, above all, the generous wines of the Moscatel grape variety of Setúbal (Muscat) constitute the main part of the production. The Muscatel de Setúbal, the most famous Portuguese wine after the Port and Madeira wines, with its exceptional ageing capacity, has been exported worldwide for centuries, once again thanks to its proximity to the ocean and the transport facilities it provides.
In Palmela, is the mother company of the wine route. It is located in a very well restored old wine cellar in the heart of the city. When you enter, you will first be surprised by the beauty of the building and its decoration. A magnificent ceiling height, highlighted by beautiful bordeaux-coloured suspensions of course. Here, we can give you all the information you need to explore the vineyards of the region. They make central booking, so you can both plan and book your visits at once, which is very convenient. They can also recommend local craft centres. In short, enough to explore the whole region! And if you don't have time to visit, you can also buy wine on site.
