Quinta dos Capinhas is a family-run vineyard located in Porches, Faro, offering immersive wine and food experiences in the Algarve countryside. The estate produces its own wines and hosts carefully curated visitor experiences that showcase local viticulture, seasonal landscapes and Algarve gastronomy.

Activities are led by experienced guides who explain sustainable viticulture practices, vineyard ecology and varietal characteristics. Tastings emphasize estate production and seasonal selections, paired with regional breads, cheeses and charcuterie to highlight local flavors. Group sizes are limited for many events to preserve an intimate atmosphere and ensure attentive service.
