    More details

    Your experience begins with a guided tour of our winery and terrace where you will appreciate the natural beauty of the Minho River Valley. This will be followed by a tasting of local products paired with our line of natural wines at Quinta de Folga, our smokehouse. While enjoying your food and wine experience you will learn about our vineyards, our herbal tea farm, and the history of producing traditional Fumeiro (smoked meat) in Melgaço.

    At Quinta de Folga we centre on Bísaro, a special breed of pig, which we breed in an ecological and sustainable manner. During the tasting you will be offered a spread of traditional smoked meats including Salpicão (dry-cured smoked pork sausage), Chouriça de Sangue (smoked blood sausage), Chouriça de Carne (smoked pork sausage), and Alheira (smoked sausage made with pork and bread) as well as homemade jams and veggies from our organic garden.

    These regional delicacies will be paired with our line of natural wines for a truly unique food and wine tasting experience.
    Terramater is an entirely different Soalheiro, our first unfiltered wine. Nature, without sulphites of filtration, pushes our Alvarinho grapes to the limit. Our limited edition Brut Nature sparkling wine is made based on the ancestral method of sparkling wine production, using curious Yeast Pearls for the secondary fermentation. This tasting also features our most recognized wine, Soalheiro Alvarinho (Clássico).
    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.
