Sogevinus stands out in the wine world for honouring a heritage that spans five centuries of history, uniting tradition and mastery in the production of its wines.

With deep roots in the Douro region, the first wine region in the world to be demarcated and recognised by UNESCO, the company stands as an emblem of quality and excellence.

The unique characteristics of its quintas, distributed throughout the sub-regions of Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo and Douro Superior, reflect the diversity and richness of the Douro terroir.

Their participation in the next edition of FINE #WineTourism Marketplace, on 13 and 14 March 2024, promises to be an exceptional opportunity to learn more about their commitment to quality viticulture and their wine tourism proposal.

An immersive wine tourism experience

The Sogevinus wine tourism proposal goes beyond a simple visit; it is a profound journey through history, culture and innovation in the world of wine. With a dedication and love for wine that spans five centuries, Sogevinus invites visitors to immerse themselves in the soul of the Douro, the world’s first demarcated wine region and a world heritage site.

This journey begins at the Cálem cellars, which, with more than 235,000 visitors a year, have become a global benchmark, not only for the quality of their wines but also for their ability to tell the story of Port wine in an immersive and educational way.

Guided tours of these historic cellars offer an intimate insight into traditional Port winemaking, taking visitors between barrels and bocoyes, where legendary wines rest.

But the Sogevinus experience goes one step further with its interactive museum, an installation that combines tradition with state-of-the-art technology.

Here, 5D cinema sessions and interactive exhibits allow visitors to travel through time and space, exploring the unique terroir of the Douro, the grape varieties grown there and the different types of wines.

This sensory immersion is complemented by activities that stimulate learning and curiosity, designed to connect in an intuitive and personalised way with each visitor.

The tasting sessions

The commitment to a complete educational experience is also reflected in the tasting sessions that Sogevinus offers.

After touring the cellars and immersing themselves in the history and technique behind each bottle, visitors have the opportunity to taste a selection of Port and DOC Douro wines, guided by experts who will help them appreciate the subtleties and notes of each wine. These tastings are not only a demonstration of the quality and diversity of Sogevinus’ production, but also an invitation to develop a more refined palate and a greater appreciation of wine culture.

The Sogevinus wine tourism experience is, in essence, a tribute to the richness and diversity of Port and Douro wine. Every visit, every tasting, every moment spent on the premises is an opportunity to be part of a history that has been carefully fermented over the centuries.

A global legacy

Sogevinus’ contribution to wine tourism transcends borders, positioning it as a global ambassador of Portuguese wine culture.

Its presence at FINE #WineTourism Marketplace is not only a showcase of the quality and diversity of its wines, but also an invitation to discover the cultural and heritage richness of the Douro.

Through its brands: Kopke, Burmester, Cálem, Barros and Velhores, Sogevinus shares a part of Portuguese history and character, promoting an unforgettable encounter between wine and those seeking authentic and enriching wine tourism experiences.
