Adega José de Sousa presents a harvest program for the whole family 

From the 4th of August to the 3rd of September, Adega José de Sousa, located in the heart of Reguengos de Monsaraz, invites all wine lovers to participate in a harvest in the heart of Alentejo. Through a special wine tourism program, which includes an experience that goes from the vine to the glass, Adega José de Sousa opens its doors to anyone who wants to participate in the harvest activities and learn more about this process, also offering the possibility to enjoy a lunch paired with José de Sousa wines. Unmissable to do in the company of friends and family, the offer will be available from August 4th to September 3rd. 

 The program can start in the vineyard, with the picking of the grapes, where visitors have the opportunity to participate in the cutting of the bunches or, if the harvest is already at a more advanced stage, in the cellar with the tasting of the must or with the foot treading . As far as the activities to be carried out are concerned, they depend on the date and stage of the harvest. Afterwards, a visit is made to the two wineries – Adega Nova and Adega dos Potes. After the hard work, the most pleasurable part of the program arrives: the wine tasting. And for those who want to end the day with a complete experience, there is still the option to enjoy an exclusive lunch. 

The program is available subject to availability and prior booking. You can make your reservation in advance by email josedesousa@jmfonseca.pt or by calling 918 269 569. 

 Loaded with prestige and history, Adega José de Sousa, dating from 1878, is a unique winery that includes two wineries that work with very different styles. At Adega dos Potes, the ancestral and ancient fermentation method is present in wine production, while at Adega Moderna, the technology implemented in production is essential to achieve excellence, and this ambivalence is much appreciated.
