Alentejo is the widest region of Portugal. Here the landscape is "gentle" composed by rolling hills covered by cork oak trees, vineyards and wheat fields. The lifestyle is serene in the small villages with white washed houses where the time slowly passes by… The gastronomy is robust and creative with wines to match it, in contrast with the calmness of the local people of the region.

Monsaraz is an ancient medieval village surrounded by walls, with narrow streets and beautiful monuments made with whitewashed schist stone. From its castle and walls you can sight marvelous landscapes, with the rural fields and the surprising Alqueva Lake at the distance.

Adega da Cartuxa takes its name from the ancient Cartuxa Monastery, located right next to the property. The setting is the former refectory of the retreat of the Jesuits. It will be on this atmosphere that you'll be able to visit this estate, understanding the wine production of one of the most important region from Alentejo.  At the end of the visit you will have a very interesting wine tasting.
