Silvã de Cima (30 min from Viseu)
Our farm is located in the heart of the Dão Demarcated Region, in Silvã de Cima, in the sub-region of Castendo. This unique stretch of 42 hectares of vines, between Vale do Pereiro and Vale do Sequeiro, marked by a triangular plateau between 400 and 530 metres above sea level, is characterised by gentle slopes towards the southwest quadrant, with a privileged solar exposure to the south and west.
The traditional vineyards are not irrigated, using a sustainable rainfed viticulture system, which maintains traditional qualities and typicity in the 26 parcels in an integrated production mode, characterised by a planting density of 3500 plants per hectare and a median production of 4000 kg per hectare.
We invite you to discover the history of the village. Must-see sights include the Roman winepress - one of the oldest vestiges of winemaking in the Dão region - and visiting the forest before starting the vineyard tour, which can be done on foot or in the traditional 1964 Bedford van. This guided tour also includes the winery, designed by the renowned architect, culminating in the Barrel Top Walk, a wooden walkway built high above the barrel room, where the wines are aged in the silence of time.
The visit ends with a Wine Tasting in the Wine House or, in the case of larger groups, in the winery’s tasting room with access to the balcony.
In this tasting we are talking about identity, the Dão, character, perfume, fluidity, adaptability, complexity and affinity with the wood barrels. We wanted to reveal the potential of each of our classic and monovarietal varieties. Reserve wines are the best example.
After booking we will send all the details of the reservation, as well as the location of the farm and the contact of the farmer.
If you wish to propose another day or time for the experience, send us a message and we will do our best to reschedule, or we can include one more experience for all day.
