Adega Mayor is a winery located in Nossa Senhora da Graça dos Degolados, Portalegre, in the Alentejo region. The estate offers guided visits that combine a short film, a cellar tour, and panoramic terrace views to illustrate the winery’s history and winemaking methods. Experiences range from a non-tasting visit suitable for visitors under 17 to multiple tasting formats that showcase local wines paired with regional cheeses, cured meats, artisanal chocolates, or tapas.
Visitors can choose from concise 1.5-hour tours focused on tasting and food pairings, to two-hour experiences that include a picnic in the vineyard or an interactive aroma workshop. The programs emphasize sensory education, with structured tastings of two to six wines depending on the option selected. The vineyard setting and terrace viewpoints provide a scenic backdrop that complements each tasting and food pairing.
Adega Mayor’s offerings appeal to families, small groups, and couples seeking a blend of education and leisure in the Alentejo countryside. Each tour begins with an audiovisual presentation that contextualizes the wines, followed by an on-site walkthrough that explains production and aging. Pairing options highlight local gastronomy and regional ingredients, reinforcing the terroir-driven character of the wines.
By combining informative presentation, multiple tasting formats, and outdoor experiences among the vines, Adega Mayor provides a clear, structured way for visitors to learn about Alentejo winemaking while enjoying authentic regional flavors. A dedicated non-tasting visit allows under-17 visitors to participate in the educational film and tour while adults choose tasting and pairing options across the available experiences.
