Hotel Monverde
For a full-immersion experience in vinho verde culture, this is the place. Located in the Quinta da Lixa estate, the hotel is dedicated to all things enological. Your room will look out over the vines, you can get a massage with grape skins and vine leaves in the spa, sip the estate's wines with your creamy monkfish rice or marinated pork with corn and wild mushrooms in the gourmet restaurant. You can even join in the seasonal work of the vineyard, including by crushing grapes by foot during the late summer harvest, or get a master class in wine tasting. It's all in a modern architectural unit that uses natural local stone and wood to produce a contemporary-but-cozy environment complete with cotton duvets and a blazing fireplace for cooler evenings. A 20-minute drive north from Amarante .
