About this location

Hidden between rolling landscapes, vineyards and silence, this estate is far more than a place to stay — it is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature and experience Alentejo through wine, heritage and genuine hospitality.

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Mértola region, the estate revolves around a remarkable 19th-century manor house — once a discreet meeting place for Freemasons and later chosen as the setting for several Portuguese films.

Located within the territory distinguished as European Wine City 2026, this wine estate offers travellers the opportunity to experience the Baixo Alentejo at a particularly meaningful moment — when wine, culture, landscape and tradition come together to celebrate one of Portugal's most authentic wine regions.

Here, wine is not simply tasted — it is lived slowly, surrounded by open skies, olive groves, conversations and the timeless rhythm of the Alentejo countryside.

Here, time moves differently.

Enjoy unhurried afternoons, warm sunsets and immersive wine experiences without needing to drive anywhere afterwards.

Taste freely...
Stay peacefully...

To preserve the intimate and personalised nature of the experience, overnight stays and wine tastings must always be booked in advance.

Daily experience schedule:
• Estate & heritage visit — 2pm to 3pm
• Group wine experiences — from 3pm onwards

Wine experiences available:
• Gastronomic Wine Experience — €45 pp
A generous and immersive tasting journey pairing local wines with carefully selected regional flavours.

• Classic Wine Tasting — €17.50 pp
A relaxed introduction to the wines and spirit of the region.

Additional services available upon request:
• Fresh bread delivery in the morning
• Seasonal light meals: fresh salads and sandwiches in summer, comforting soups in winter
• Barbecue hire (€8), with the possibility of premium local black pork prepared for grilling

Whether you arrive for a night or stay a little longer, this estate was created for travellers seeking meaningful places, memorable conversations and the quieter, more authentic side of Portugal.

Perfect for...

Those drawn to nature, wine, and meaningful moments — from curious explorers to seasoned wine lovers — seeking a slower, more authentic experience, away from mass tourism.

Sleep at a Wine Experience in Mértola, Alentejo

This is not a typical camper stop — it’s a peaceful wine experience where you can arrive, slow down, taste, and stay overnight in total tranquillity.

Located on a private property near Mértola, we offer only 10 spacious pitches for campervans and motorhomes. The terrain is flat, stable, and easy to access directly from the N122. Each spot offers privacy and open space, surrounded by nature and silence.

The focus here is simple: wine, atmosphere, and rest.
Guests are invited to enjoy our on-site wine tastings, featuring carefully selected local wines paired with traditional regional flavors. No need to drive — just relax, enjoy the experience, and stay the night. (Advance booking required.)

There is limited natural shade on the pitches, so we recommend bringing an awning, especially in warmer months.

This space is designed for self-contained vehicles.
No electricity, water, or sewage hookups are available.

Perfect for Couples and travellers looking for a quiet, authentic stop connected to wine, nature, and the Alentejo lifestyle — far from crowded camper areas.
