Exclusive Wine Tasting in Tomar’s Private Vineyard

Explore the fabulous Ribatejo Wine Region

The vineyards around Tomar form part of the wider Ribatejo wine region, celebrated for its fertile soils, gentle river influences, and diverse native grape varieties. Here, you’ll find beautifully balanced reds, crisp, refreshing whites, and elegant rosé wines that capture the essence of central Portugal.

Unlike the country’s larger wine tourism hotspots, Tomar offers something more personal. The vineyards here are small, family-run estates where traditions have been carefully preserved and passed down through generations, giving each bottle a genuine sense of place and history.

The land around Tomar was heavily influenced by the Order of Christ, the successor to the Knights Templar in Portugal.

Many surrounding agricultural properties, including vineyards and olive groves, were historically owned or managed by the religious institutions.

The name “Quinta das Freiras” (Farm of the Nuns) reflects that monastic heritage.

This is wine tasting with local varieties typical of the Tejo Wine Region such as Fernão Pires and Castelão and Aragonez blends.

This is our favourite vineyard and it’s set just outside of Tomar, nestled amongst rolling countryside and proudly run by a 5th-generation winemaking family.

A place where heritage, passion, and a deep connection to the Templar lands come together with every glass.

Come and enjoy a unique wine tasting experience; you won’t be disappointed.
