1. Espaço Bairrada
Formerly Curia railway station, this handsome building is now a space for promoting the wines of the Bairrada region. It's run by the Associação da Rota da Bairrada (Rota da Bairrada Association) and is a characterful spot for sampling the fine vinhos of the region, as well as cheeses, conserves, and other delicacies. There's a small bar in the former ticket office, as well as a shop in the azulejo-filled space that once served as a waiting room.

2. Aliança Underground Museum
A short drive from Curia, this Aladdin's cave of a museum is located in wine cellars that date back some 50 years. Its exhibits—drawn from the private collection of Portuguese billionaire businessman and art collector, José Berardo—include 18th-century Portuguese ceramics, African artwork, and assorted archaeological artifacts. Guided tours are offered in English, but advance reservations are necessary.

3. Quinta do Encontro
The eye-popping architecture alone would make this winery, located in a tiny village northwest of Curia, worth visiting. Circular throughout, the building's design is apparently inspired by oak barrels, and the spiral interior walkway is playfully modeled on a corkscrew. Set amid vineyards and gently rolling hills, Quinta do Encontro offers wine tastings and guided tours of its ultramodern wine-making facilities. No advance reservations are necessary, though they're recommended. There is also an excellent restaurant.
