Beira Interior Wine Villages

Explore the wine regions of Beiras and Serra da Estrela and Beira Baixa, where wine, heritage and gastronomy combine with a landscape of singular beauty.

Discover the Purity of the Schist Villages

Wines from Beira Interior, wines born from the purity of the mountains.

This wine tourism experience is for mountain lovers!
Begin your visit at the schist village of Água Formosa. Situated on a south-facing slope, the village seems to embrace the Ribeira Galega and settle on its banks, surrounded by pine forests.
With few accesses, this village remains practically untouched on the map of the city of Vila de Rei. Its narrow, dense and irregular streets make it a unique and obligatory visit.

Visit the Geodesic Centre, a place that marks the centre of the Portuguese mainland, and be dazzled by the 360º view from which you can admire breathtaking landscapes.
Head to Oleiros, where we recommend a visit to the local restaurants and take the opportunity to pair Beira Interior wines with the traditional roast kid.

Don't forget to book a wine experience with one of Beira Interior's wine producers: Bonjardim or Alto dos Cucos.
Finally, discover the schist village of Figueira and take a dip in the Fróia River beach. Relax and enjoy!
