This visit is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in Portuguese culture and appreciate the beauty of the tiles, which are an integral part of our cultural identity.

Built in the 19th century, it was restored in 1923 by the Swiss architect, Ernesto Korrodi, and was the residence of the Soares Franco family until the 70s of the 20th century. With a very special façade and beautiful gardens, it has always been associated with the image of José Maria da Fonseca.

The tour through the Casa-Museu begins with a brief explanation of the company’s history, followed by a visit to the old cellars: Adega da Mata and Adega dos Teares Novos, where, among others, Periquita wine ages, and the Adega dos Teares Velhos, where the oldest Moscatéis de Setúbal rest, some of which are authentic relics over 100 years old. At the end, you will have the opportunity to discover and taste some of the wines produced by José Maria da Fonseca, through a wine tasting.

Cristo Rei, a majestic icon on the banks of the Tagus River, welcomes visitors with open arms for a transcendental experience.
