Wine Class in Pinhão: Taste & Learn Portuguese Wines

Savor 6 to 9 local vintages while uncovering Portugal’s rich wine heritage.

A wine class in Pinhão where you taste between 6 and 9 wines from a small farm, learn the history and characteristics of Portuguese wines, and refine your tasting technique with an expert guide. The class runs two hours and includes a visit to the winery. Guides speak Spanish, Portuguese or French. Minimum age is 14.

The Experience

The class starts with the fundamentals: how to look at wine, how to smell it, how to describe what you find. An expert guide walks you through the tasting of 6 to 9 wines from the farm and the broader Portuguese wine regions, explaining the characteristics and history behind each one. You're not sitting in a classroom. You're in the winery itself, tasting from the source, which is where the details start to make sense.

Two hours is enough to move through the wines without rushing and to ask questions as they come up. The guide speaks Spanish, Portuguese or French, so the language fits your group. Alcoholic beverages are included. You'll taste your way through the session and leave with a sharper sense of how to approach wine on your own.
