Municipal Heritage Routes | The Monastery of Santa Maria do Mar and Carcavelos Wine
This visit, held as part of the celebrations for Carcavelos Wine Day on September 18, is dedicated to the Monastery of Santa Maria do Mar in Sassoeiros, which has recently undergone renovation work carried out by Cascais Municipal Council.
In addition to visiting the monastery, an example of modern architecture with an international flavor, initially designed by architects Nuno Teotรณnio Pereira, Nuno Portas, and Pedro Vieira de Almeida, we will visit the estate, which includes a recreational forest and approximately 2.7 hectares of vineyards where the grape varieties authorized for the production of Carcavelos Wine, recognized by the Charter of Law of September 18, 1908, are grown.ย
We will also highlight the importance of the production of this wine over time, discuss the various grape varieties present, and the adoption of regenerative agriculture methods used in the development of this vineyard. It is with this vineyard that the municipality of Cascais guarantees the preservation and promotion of this famous fortified wine.
