Operated by Farm Experiences & Tours · Igrejinha, Distrito de Évora
Perched 300 meters above the rolling hills of Tapada de Coelheiros, the "Taco House" offers an engaging outdoor experience that steps beyond your typical vineyard visit. Operated by Farm Experiences & Tours, this former hunting retreat in the Évora district is a place where the landscape and local culture converge with a curated menu of regional wines and fresh, farm-to-table flavors. Visitors begin their journey with a hearty welcome from the resident farmer who manages this estate, setting an authentic tone rooted in centuries of agricultural tradition. Far from a standard tasting room, this estate invites you to wander through thriving vineyards nourished by Portugal’s unique Alentejo climate — known for intense sunlight and iron-rich soil that give the grapes a distinct depth and character. The outdoor setting offers panoramic views over vineyards, cork oak groves, and the undulating countryside, framed by the warm light of southern Portugal. The lunch itself is served in the spacious Taco House, a converted hunting lodge whose expansive windows and elevated vantage point make every bite accompanied by an inspiring vista. A handpicked wine tasting precedes the meal and highlights varietals from carefully selected wineries on-site, enriching the palate with history and terroir. This 3-hour experience balances leisure with discovery, fitting seamlessly into an itinerary for food and wine enthusiasts who want more than a fleeting stop. Farm Experiences & Tours stands apart in the region by blending outdoor immersion with local culinary heritage, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking an intimate connection to Portugal’s rural roots and renowned viticulture.
