A&D Wines is our family owned Winery that focus on organic farming we believe in using what the terroir provides us with. Let me show you what a day in the life of a harvest is like with us!

You also have the opportunity to get a picnic basket that includes a meal made with the fresh produce picked directly from the vegetable garden and go on your own to explore the property. We highly recommend you visit the Tasting Room at the highest point of the property to try the delicious wines. One of our favourites is the Monólogo Avesso, a mono-varietal wine with the autochthonous grape variety: Avesso. This is a special grape to the A&D team, as it is only found in the Vinho Verde region specifically from the sub-region of Baião. At the end of your tour you can pop in the wine shop and pick out what your favourite wine of the Day was to take home with you! Sounds like the perfect day to us....
