CASA MÃE DA ROTA DE VINHOS
Mother house of the wine route with necessary information offering tours to explore the vineyards of the region.
The wine route of the "blue coast" - the coastal region south of Lisbon that includes Setúbal, Palmela and Sesimbra - supports the idea that the proximity of the ocean certainly contributes to the characteristics of this region's wines. Reds from the Periquita grape, whites from the Fernão Pires grape and, above all, generous wines from the Moscatel de Setúbal (muscatel) grape make up the bulk of production. Moscatel de Setúbal, the best-known Portuguese wine after Porto and Madeira, with its exceptional ageing capacity, has been exported around the world for centuries, once again thanks to its proximity to the ocean and the transport facilities it provides. Palmela is home to the Wine Route headquarters. It's located in a beautifully restored old wine cellar right in the center of town. As you enter, you'll be surprised by the beauty of the building and its decoration. A magnificent high ceiling, highlighted by beautiful burgundy hanging lights. Here, you'll find all the information you need to explore the region's vineyards. They have a central booking office, so you can both plan and book your visits at once, which is very practical. They can also recommend local craft centers. In short, enough to explore the whole region! And if you don't have time to visit, you can also buy wine on site.
