Located in the North of Portugal, the Minho Region is bounded by the border with Galicia, Spain and the Atlantic Ocean. With a population of over 1.1 million inhabitants, the region is often associated with the green of the natural landscape, where water is plentiful, and with a rugged morphology, of enormous beauty and biodiversity, which flattens out in the valleys of the four rivers that cross it and on the numerous beaches along the coast. The unique traditional human landscape, marked by vineyards and cornfields, villages with granite constructions or manor houses, is another dimension often assumed in the characterization of the region, together with the Minho hospitality, the richness of the gastronomy and the vibrant traditions!

The artistic expressions go back to the Romanesque, passing through the Renaissance and Baroque. The Minho region is the largest Portuguese wine-growing area. The region's climate is influenced by sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, so temperatures are mild throughout the year. Precipitation levels are high, so the level of atmospheric humidity is relatively high, making it possible to obtain light, acidic and slightly petillating wines.
