However, the estate itself has been vinifying wine in one form or another since the 1400s. Vieira purchased a project, and not just in reclaiming the vines and planting new ones: On the main house, the roof was caving in, and the quinta’s chapel was in extreme disrepair.

Exterior tanks hold wine short term before transportation to the bottling facility The quinta is undergoing a transformation to another modern practice as well: mechanized harvest, with the new plantings spaced for the harvesters. However, the quinta also sources grapes from small producers in the area that still pick by hand.
Internal restaurant: fixed menu, local products, home cooking. Available upon reservation. It is required to book the restaurant service at least 24 hours before the day of arrival.
When the project concludes, the quinta will make a gorgeous place for events such as weddings and conferences.
Though it lies within 90 minutes’ drive from our house, Quinta do Gradil first came on our radar as a quinta to know through a company in California called Naked Wines. A unique outfit, Naked Wines serves to connect educated consumers directly with small wine producers around the world. The customers act as “angels,” providing a monthly stipend that is offset by discounted purchases when the wines come to market.
A big thank-you to Bruno Gomes and everyone at Quinta do Gradil for including us in the festivities. We had a great time!
, to name just a few There was plenty of wine flowing as well, but for us, the emphasis was not on formal tastings. Rather, it was a fun day that celebrated the camaraderie, local flavors, and relaxed lifestyle of the Lisbon wine region’s countryside.

The winemaking facility came outfitted with equipment you normally find throughout Portugal for vinification. While some needed outright replacement, the cement tanks from 1960s are still in use, complemented by modern tanks, crushers, and destemmers.
