Wine & Ride: Exploring the Best Wineries Around Ericeira on Two Wheels 🍷🏍️

Ericeira might be best known for its waves, but did you know that just a short ride from town, you’ll find some of Portugal’s finest wineries? Picture this: cruising scenic backroads on your 125cc motorcycle, wind in your hair, and the promise of a world-class glass of wine waiting at your destination. Sounds like a dream? Let’s make it happen! 🚀

1. AdegaMãe – A Modern Take on Portuguese Wine

📍 Location: Torres Vedras (20 min ride)

A must-visit for wine lovers, AdegaMãe combines modern architecture with traditional winemaking. Their crisp whites and bold reds showcase the region’s terroir, and the guided tours offer an inside look at the winemaking process. Don’t miss their Alvarinho – it’s a game-changer! 🍇

2. Quinta de Sant’Ana – A Family-Run Hidden Gem

📍 Location: Gradil (30 min ride)

Tucked away in a picturesque valley, this family-owned winery oozes charm. Expect organic wines, a relaxed vibe, and a stunning estate that feels straight out of a movie. Their Pinot Noir is a must-try, and if you’re lucky, you might catch one of their famous harvest festivals.

3. Manzwine – Boutique Wines with a Story

📍 Location: Cheleiros (35 min ride)

This small but mighty winery is bringing back near-extinct Portuguese grape varieties. Their Jampal white wine is unlike anything you’ve tasted before – fresh, aromatic, and full of character. Pair it with a cheese tasting, and you’re in for a treat. 🧀🍷

Ride Safe & Plan Ahead!

While wine tasting and riding sound like the perfect duo, remember to sip responsibly. Many of these wineries offer take-away bottles, so you can enjoy your favorite picks later. Better yet, make it a weekend trip and book a stay at one of the beautiful vineyard guesthouses. 🛏️🍷
