Vinho Verde Region

Wine tourism in Minho

Vinho Verde tastings, visit to the winery and accommodation among vineyards, in a family estate within the Vinho Verde region.

Family estate since 1997

In the heart of the Vinho Verde region

Quinta Picouto de Cima is located in Gominhães, municipality of Guimarães, within the Vinho Verde region — the only one in the world where vinho verde is produced. There are 10 hectares of vineyards, with more than seven grape varieties, worked by the same family since 1997.

Here, the tasting doesn’t take place at some anonymous counter: it is the family themselves – who produce every bottle – who guide you through the winery and share the story of three generations dedicated to the only wine in the world known as ‘verde’.

Combine your visit with a trip to the historic centre of Guimarães — the cradle of Portugal and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — just a few minutes’ drive from the estate.
