Adega Belém Urban Winery

Adega Belém Urban Winery brings winemaking right to the heard of the city. Owned and run by the Catarina Moreira and David Picard, the winery is located in Lisbon’s urban neighborhood of Belém, near the River Tejo, Carriage Museum and Pastéis de Belém. The cellar door is open to the public to sample a selection of reds, whites, rosés and bubblies made from Portuguese varietals, or to learn more about wine making by taking part in a tour through the winemaking cellars or by booking a wine tasting class. Healthy grapes handcrafted into delicious wine

The grapes are grown in the foothills of Lisbon’s Monsanto mountain and in the Caparide Valley above Estoril. An additional part is grown the villages of Palmela in Setubal and Bemposta near Alenquer. The wines are handcrafted using state-of-the-art cellar technology and a minimal intervention approach to make the most delicious wines possible from each grape variety. Adega Belém works with endemic grape varieties and yeasts because it makes more interesting wines reflecting the respective varietal characters as much as the special terroir of the winery and the Belém neighborhood. Sustainable urban winemaking is a family matter

We use locally harvested grapes grown under integrated vineyard management, lightweight bottles, chemical-agent-free cleaning, energy saving inverter technology, recycled cardboard packaging, and have a in-house waste water treatment plant. We love Lisbon, we live in Lisbon and we make every single wine in our winery in Lisbon. Bringing the winery inside the city means bringing the mystery of fermentation right to the doorstep of our clients. Adega Belém is a family venture and everyone, young and old, gets involved. All label designs are based on drawings by Ana Lula and Sofia, the two junior winemakers whose work so well reflects the crazy and chaotic harmony of our lives – and wines. Opening times & contact
