Visits and Tastings
In this place where we move with the heart, we receive with joy and care those who seek a truly special and distinctive experience.
In Beira Alta, between the mountains and the great lake, there is a place of abundant nature and tranquility where time seems to stand still.
It is in this setting of serenity and relaxation that the family opens its doors, offering authenticity, exclusivity, and moments of well-being and privacy.
After visiting our estate, guests are invited to enjoy a tasting or a leisurely meal, where the remarkable complexity, elegance, and unusual longevity of our Primado wines take center stage — artisanal creations produced in very limited editions.
In the vineyard, in the garden, in the living room, in the winery or in the cellar — among the family’s reserve and century-old bottles — we share our home and our stories.
To accompany our Primado wines, we select the finest products from local artisans and create moments in which wine, gastronomy, landscape, and history come together in a gathering of sensations that celebrates time and place.

Rarity Tasting

Testimonials from those who visit us
“We have all arrived back to the Algarve and carry the memory of our visit with you. I think you know that we all realized what a special project you have at Pereira de Melo, each wine is exquisite. And, yours is by far the best Encruzado that I have ever tasted . . . and I am somewhat of an expert at tasting Encruzado!!”
“We cannot recommend this beautiful and intimate experience enough. My wife and I felt right at home and were honored to learn more about this fabulous family project. We left full of delicious food and had next level wines that were ranked #1!”
“This tour was absolutely fantastic. From the expertly guided tour to the beautiful vineyards and the charming house and winery, everything is top notch. Including the wines. The care and attention that goes into these wines is incredible.”
“We were welcomed by the winery’s producer, Mr. Pereira de Melo, in a very intimate and familiar setting. Everything was thought out in detail, from the visit, the wines and the accompaniments. A great asset for the Dão region, without a doubt!
Probably the most wonderful set of wines I have ever tried, balanced and elegant. Perfection!”
“I recently visited Quinta do Coladinho with my husband and my daughter, with the aim of getting to know the wines of the Dão region. We went on the recommendation of an acquaintance, and the experience exceeded our expectations.
We were very well received by the kind and lovely Pereira de Melo Family, who shared, in an animated and enthusiastic conversation, the story of Pereira de Melo Wines. We did the Rarity tasting, whose name truly reflects the wines we tasted. They stand out for their elegance. We found them so special that we couldn’t resist bringing home several bottles. They are indeed a rarity — not only because of the final product, but also because of the passionate and dedicated way in which they are handcrafted. We became fans!
Many thanks to the Pereira de Melo Family for the fantastic experience you provided for the three of us!”
“Manuel and Inês were incredible hosts and it was fascinating to learn about the unique care and attention that goes into the production of their wine.
The tapas and wine tasting was a magical experience. Each course was thoughtfully sourced from local producers, presented beautifully, and paired perfectly with the delicious wines.
They were so kind and generous with their time and knowledge. Their selection of wines is a testament to their passion and dedication to excellence.”
