Portugal is one of the most important countries in wine production, with regions that combine tradition, history, and breathtaking landscapes. Beyond wine tastings and cellars, Portugal offers a variety of wineries to visit with children. Traditional Portuguese estates have been investing in experiences that welcome the whole family, making wine tourism a way to bring generations closer together. While adults enjoy award-winning labels, children can explore nature, meet animals, and discover local flavours in a playful and engaging way.

Visiting a winery with children is more than just a simple outing: it is an opportunity to experience the countryside, learn about local culture and customs, and create shared memories. Across different regions of the country, estates and properties open their doors to families with activities ranging from carriage rides and horse-riding lessons to picnics among the vineyards.

Here are five wineries to visit with children in Portugal that offer experiences designed for all ages, which you can book right here on Wine XP.

Located in the Tejo region, Quinta da Lagoalva is perfect for a relaxed family outing. One of the highlights is the carriage ride, which takes you through the estate’s scenic landscape and past its traditional olive grove. Along the way, there are stops in areas ideal for birdwatching, making the visit both educational and fun for the little ones. Find out more details here.

In the Serra da Estrela, Quinta Madre de Água offers a unique experience: introductory horse-riding lessons with purebred Lusitano horses. The activity is adapted to each
participant’s level and can include a ride through the property, surrounded by the typical scenery of the Dão region. It’s the perfect option for families wishing to combine a wine visit
with rural life and close contact with animals. Book your riding lesson here.

Quinta São João provides a true immersion in nature. The visit begins with a guided walk through the vineyards, with explanations about local biodiversity and the winemaking
process. Afterwards, guests can enjoy birdwatching and end the day with a countryside picnic featuring regional products such as cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit and wine for the
adults. More information here.

For those seeking history and scenery, the Jeep tour between Paço dos Cunhas and Casa de Santar is unmissable. The route passes by manor houses and historic residences in the village of Santar, winds through emblematic vineyards and offers stunning views from the Vinha dos Amores. The experience concludes with a Casa de Santar wine tasting paired with a regional platter, ideal for families and small groups. Learn more here.

Mainova, in the Alentejo, offers a sensory experience the whole family will enjoy. The visit includes a blind tasting of three fruit nectars, followed by a sampling of two extra virgin olive oils.
