One of the Winery options on the itinerary.
Ervideira is one of the secular wine companies in Portugal, dedicated to producing wine since 1880. It currently has the fourth and fifth generation of active producers. The estate has a total of 160 hectares of vineyards, distributed by family properties in Vidigueira and Reguengos. Since the beginning the mission was to create truly unique and exclusive wines maintaining the quality of Portugese wines in the international market. Guided by the legacy left by their great grandfather, they rely on values that combines tradition and innovation.

One of the winery options.
The Herdade do Esporão presents itself as an Estate steeped in history, producer of outstanding quality wines. The Esporão vines are located in the heart of Reguengos de Monsaraz, where wines are more balanced and seductive, simultaneously thriving and pleasant, luxuriant and with a good ageing potential. If the vines are the lung of the Herdade do Esporão, the cellar is the heart that beats to the rhythm of the harvest and as the result of the work defined by the calendar and by the oenology team.

The Chapel of Bones is a unique and intriguing attractions. It is a small chapel attached to the Church of St. Francis (Igreja de São Francisco) and is known for its macabre interior decoration.

The chapel was built in the 16th century by Franciscan monks, with the purpose of conveying the message of life’s transience and the importance of reflecting on mortality. The walls and pillars of the chapel are completely covered in human bones, creating a rather eerie and somber atmosphere.

The bones used in the chapel are believed to be from around 5,000 monks. The remains were exhumed from nearby cemeteries due to lack of space and then carefully arranged to form intricate patterns and designs. Skulls are used as decorative elements, and there is even a creepy inscription above the entrance that translates to “We bones that are here await yours.”

Visiting the Chapel of Bones can be a thought-provoking experience.

Évora is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city dates back to Roman times and is full of ancient ruins, including a well-preserved Roman temple called the Temple of Diana. Évora is also famous for its well-preserved medieval walls, which enclose the historic center and offer stunning views of the city. The city’s narrow streets are lined with beautiful whitewashed houses, charming squares, and historic churches. Évora is home to the impressive Cathedral of Évora, a Gothic-style masterpiece, as well as the eerie Chapel of Bones, adorned with skulls and bones. The city’s university, founded in the 16th century, adds a vibrant energy to the town, making it a great place for students and intellectuals. Évora is also renowned for its gastronomy, with delicious traditional dishes like Alentejo-style pork and regional wines. Whether you’re interested in history, culture, food, or simply admiring the beauty of this enchanting city, Évora offers a unique and captivating experience.

Also popularly known as Templo de Diana (Diana Temple), it was probably a place of worship to the Roman emperor of the time it was built. Located on the once Roman Forum of Evora and built in the beginning of the 1st century AD, this pagan monument of imposing proportions suffered different alterations during the Barbarian invasions and the Christian period. They all changed its main features. The majestic temple was only restored to its original glory in the 19th century.
