A traditional taste of Monção and Melgaço

We invite you to join us for a unique gastronomic experience at Quinta de Folga, the smokehouse just down the road from our winery. Here, the focus is on the Bísaro pork, which we raise outdoors with ecological breeding. Our region has a longstanding history of using this breed to produce Melgaço’s traditional smokehouse meats. You can enjoy a variety of these typical plates while you appreciate the views of our vineyards nestled into the landscape.

Duration: 3h

Book

This gastronomic experience begins with a visit to the winery, finishing on our green terrace with a view over the Minho River Valley. Next, you will head to Quinta de Folga, where you will learn about our vineyards, herbal tea gardens, and the long-standing methods of producing traditional Fumeiro (smoked meats) from Melgaço. Your experience will finish with a three-course lunch of typical homemade dishes paired with different expressions of Alvarinho.

Bísaro pork, produced at Quinta de Folga, is the centre of this gastronomic experience. You will taste a variety of starters, all made from Bísaro, as well as a traditional pork steak paired with an exquisite wild rice.

The meal will finish with coffee and homemade dessert. Each course is paired with one of our classic wines. Our Brut Alvarinho sparkling wine was the first sparkling wine made following the traditional method using the Alvarinho varietal. Soalheiro Clássico is a brand icon and an enduring expression of Alvarinho. The Soalheiro 9% is the perfect complement to dessert with its striking balance between sweetness and acidity.

You will also have the opportunity to taste The Pur Terroir herbal teas, which reflects the potential of our territory thanks to an innovative process of dehydration at low temperatures, allowing to maintain a high concentration of essential oils: extremely volatile compounds, which provide the infusions with the aroma, taste and properties of each kind. The final selection is carried out carefully, ensuring that all our infusions, both concerning loose leaf and bagged, have more than 90% leaf.
