Aphros Wine is a winery and tasting destination located in Refóios do Lima, Viana do Castelo, set in the scenic Vez valley. The estate combines historic architecture and contemporary design, with visitors experiencing both a 17th-century manor (Casal do Paço) and a modern cellar. Aphros focuses on biodynamic vineyards and traditional winemaking techniques adapted for the Vinho Verde region. The winery is known for producing **Loureiro** and **Vinhão** wines—styles associated with the Vinho Verde appellation—and for fermenting and ageing wines in clay amphorae alongside modern stainless and wooden vessels. Tastings and tours highlight the medieval amphora cellar, the contemporary cellar, and the surrounding vineyards, offering context on soil, climate, and cultivation choices. Guests frequently encounter curated, farm-to-table meals served in a bistro-style setting that emphasize local ingredients paired with the wines. Sustainability is a consistent theme across tours and production, reflected in vineyard management and a focus on minimal intervention in the cellar. Aphros Wine presents a range of experiences—from amphora-focused tastings and sparkling workshops to broader winery tours—that introduce visitors to biodynamic practices, regional grape varieties, and the landscape of the Lima and Vez valleys. The combination of historic sites, modern architecture, and a commitment to sustainable viticulture positions Aphros as a distinctive stop in the Vinho Verde region.
