What to expect
Quinta Do Frances Winery
Located north Portimão, on the base of the Monchique Mountain. It's a small, local and familiar producer of wine. Owned by a portuguese-french couple that met at Bordeaux, where he was born and grew up surroundend by the influence of wine. They moved in the region at the beginning of the century to start this project from zero. In the slopes of Odelouca River Vlley, they planted their vineyard and built their small but well equiped winery, that also hosts a tasting room, barrels room and laboratory. We will learn about the production from the cultivation in the vineyards to the winemaking process at the winery. Includes a tasting of 4 wines of different style.
