Soalheiro : : Harvest Experiences

Patchwork | Harvest Experience

Come to a family harvest, taste Alvarinho musts and have lunch at Soalheiro

Come and discover the Alvarinho Harvest’s unique culture in Monção and Melgaço, where everyone helps each other, invites friends and family, eats and drinks.

This family and community dynamic is well portrayed in our Winegrowers Club: more than 200 families dedicate themselves to Alvarinho at the end of the day and on weekends, obtaining additional income. Nowadays, Soalheiro wines are made by many hands in small vineyard plots, treated like gardens that look like a patchwork blanket from above. It is from this diversity of the territory, from family viticulture, that the different musts are born that we separate in detail and then, using different containers and different winemaking methods, we make different Alvarinhos.
