Set in the fertile heart of Portugal’s Santarém district, just outside the town of Cartaxo, Farm Experiences & Tours invites visitors to step beyond the typical winery visit with its Painting with Wine Experience. Spread across 55 hectares of thriving vineyards and century-old olive groves, this distinctive outing blends the sensory pleasures of wine tasting with a creative hands-on art session.

Vale da Pinta holds a microclimate perfect for cultivating renowned grape varietals, including Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, and Syrah reds, alongside crisp whites like Arinto and Fernão Pires. The landscape is marked by thousands of ancient Galician olive trees, a living connection to the region’s agricultural heritage.

Participants in the Painting with Wine Experience get an intimate tour of the estate, including a walk through the winery and its underground cellars carved into the earth. The highlight is the wine painting workshop itself—an inspired session where guests use wine as a medium, guided by expert instruction.

Complementing the creative challenge, the tour features a thoughtfully curated picnic among the vines, allowing visitors to savor local flavors against a backdrop of rolling hills and sun-dappled vines. For those staying longer, the cozy dining rooms offer a chance to enjoy full meals paired expertly with estate wines.
