Fodor's Expert Review Quinta do Portal

This family-owned estate 11 km (7 miles) north of Pinhão draws architecture buffs with its prize-winning winery, designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira with an extraordinary schist and cork "skin." Gourmets come for the restaurant's wine-paired tasting menus (from €42, plus €16 for wine) that showcase locally sourced ingredients in updated regional dishes, but there are also à la carte options. It is also possible to visit just for a winery tour and tasting. There's also a nice little hotel attached with 16 rooms, four of them in an old olive press building.
