The Demarcated Region of Vinhos Verdes, established in 1908, is an exceptional territory that extends across the northwest of Portugal, characterised by its densely green landscape and a great diversity of microclimates and soils, mainly of granite origin.

This region is famous for producing fresh, elegant, and light wines, thanks to its mild climate, high rainfall, and the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. The sea breezes that penetrate through the valleys of the main rivers facilitate the production of wines with a distinctive natural freshness and acidity, ideal for the production of top-quality sparkling wines and spirits.

Within this region, the sub-region of Baião, situated on the border with the Demarcated Region of Douro, is distinguished by its less temperate climate, with colder winters and hotter, drier summers.

This climatic particularity favours the correct ripening of later maturing grape varieties, such as Azal and Avesso for white wines and Amaral for reds. Baião has established itself as a zone of notable renown for its white wines, especially those made from the Avesso variety, which combine an intense fruity aroma with lively acidity.

Feel & Soul is situated in this privileged context, where viticultural tradition meets a modern and sustainable approach to wine production. The sub-region of Baião, with its unique terroir and ideal climatic conditions, provides the perfect setting for the cultivation of native varieties that result in wines of great quality and personality.

In this context, the brand emerges as a family business with a young and entrepreneurial spirit, deeply rooted in agriculture and viticulture.

Its dedication to wine and wine tourism reflects a genuine desire to offer unique experiences, centred on authenticity, genuineness, and dedication from the planting of the vine to the bottling of the precious nectar. The company adopts a Biochic approach, committing to sustainability and environmental balance, all the while maintaining the simple elegance that characterises the North of Portugal.

This commitment translates into a wine tourism offering that invites visitors to explore a new world of experiences, underscoring the importance of connection with nature and environmental preservation.

The Feel & Soul Experience at FINE #WineTourism Marketplace

At the upcoming edition of FINE #WineTourism Marketplace, on the 13th and 14th of March 2024, Feel & Soul will present its wine tourism proposal, inviting professionals and enthusiasts to immerse themselves in its world of unique wines and unforgettable experiences.

The project began with capturing the beauty of the Douro, inspiring its founders, Sandra Fonseca and Miguel Silvestre, to create a centre for wine tourism experiences in the Baião region.

From its beginnings with a small vineyard, Feel & Soul has grown to become a benchmark for innovation and tradition, standing out for its sustainable approach to wine production.

The estate, located on a unique transitional terrain between the green Douro and the Douro vinhateiro, offers a range of ideal altitudes that enrich its wines with freshness and unique characteristics. Moreover, the construction of its winery and the Wine Bar, harmoniously integrated into the landscape, complement the wine tourism experience, offering visitors moments to contemplate and enjoy in a sustainable and biodiverse environment.

Feel & Soul’s participation in FINE #WineTourism Marketplace is an exceptional opportunity to get up close with its philosophy and wine tourism proposal. The company invites everyone to discover how a passion for viticulture, respect for nature, and innovation can coexist to create exceptional wines and memorable experiences.
