Rota dos Vinhos do Tejo, present at FINE 2024
The Tejo Wine Route, a beautiful wine route, is located a short distance from Lisbon. In the vibrant heart of Portugal, the Tejo Wine region presents itself as an intertwining of vineyards with deep history and culture.
Since time immemorial, this territory has been the stage for the production of wines of excellence, building its reputation as one of the most revered wine regions in the country.
Surrounded by fertile lands that give life to bulls and horses, and by historical monuments that tell ancient sagas, this region invites on a journey through the Portuguese identity.
The lands of the Tejo Wine Route are not only rich in agricultural tradition, but also in cultural heritage. Castles, monasteries, and churches dot the landscape, narrating the past of cities and towns that once were royal residences.
Experiencing Tejo wines also means living the charms of a region that invites you to delight in a singular gastronomy, visit monuments and museums full of stories, and absorb views where green blends with water, framing each experience with genuine hospitality.
A gem to highlight? The Tejo Wine Route 118
Initiated in 2021 by the Tejo Regional Wine Commission (CVR Tejo) and with the support of the Alentejo and Ribatejo Regional Tourism Entity, the Tejo Wine Route 118 is an innovative project that promotes the wines and territory of the Tejo.
This route stretches for approximately 150 km, crossing landscapes painted with history and nature, along the left bank of the Tejo River, and includes seven municipalities: Abrantes, Constância, Chamusca, Alpiarça, Almeirim, Salvaterra de Magos, and Benavente.
On the path of the Tejo Wine Route 118, visitors have the opportunity to meet 14 wine producers who open their doors for tastings and guided tours.
