Regional de Colares Winery (Adega Regional de Colares)

Great experience visiting the Colares Winery. The staff is fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable (thank you Is and Joana)!

Great opportunity to try some native grapes such as Ramisco (red) and their expression of Malvasia (white).

Definitely recommended!

Pleasant visit and purchase of good wine

Very nice winery where you can learn a lot about the history of Colares wines. Interesting for amateurs and wine professionals. The wines are really different due to sandy soils and sea influence. If possible, try to buy a few bottles because they are hard to get outside Portugal. Book a tour and tasting in advance so they can make time for you. Not cheap, but worth it!

I strongly recommend visiting this cooperative.

Always a treat to visit the Adega Regional de Colares!

Francisco is super knowledgeable and hospitable.
Tried a few different wines including the amazing DOC Colares wines grown in sandy soils.

They do host tastings and i strongly suggest to visit.

Cheers ?

This place was great! We stopped here in between sights, and they were able to accommodate our group of 7 without issue. You would not think its behind the small, skinny door and it can be easily missed but once your in, it is worth a taste. The wine was delicious, and we enjoyed listening to the history and making of their wines. We even bought 2 bottles, one red and one white. I would definitely recommend and return next time I'm in Portugal.

Disappointing. The website sayes reservations only required for parties over 10. We showed up and were offered a tasting and then bumped and told we would have to wait awhile. We left disappointed. Nothing else in the area to do.

It's worth visiting and trying out the store, but the quality/price ratio leaves a little to be desired.Perhaps because they are not as focused on the national market, they do not have the return of regular visitors that they could have.The people on site try to help, they are knowledgeable and friendly, but I think the experience has a lot to improve!

It lacks cleanliness, but has interesting wines and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Beautiful winery, it's literally like a museum. The wine tasting was fun and delicious. Would recommend visiting. The host was lovely and her English was excellent.

It's always wonderful to visit these cellars. but only for those who like Ramisco wines. both for good wine lovers. As for restoration professionals.

The Visconde de Salreu Cellars were built by Domingos Joaquim da Silva, 1st Viscount of Salreu, in the early 1920s, with a view to exploiting Colares wine. The splendid building was designed by the architect Norte Júnior.

Just bought the wines. Will test it soon. The staff are very kindly

Finding ungrafted old-world vines produced in a traditional manner produces a very unique wine. Colores is a very special place.
