Adega Cooperativa De Vidigueira, Cuba E Alvito

Founded in 1960, the Adega Cooperativa de Vidigueira, Cuba e Alvito is a winegrowers' cooperative in the Alentejo, created to protect the vines, the wine and the ancient lifestyle of this wine sub-region. It produces red, white and sparkling wines, liqueurs and regional products, organised into seven ranges it calls "Wine Acts", inspired by Vasco da Gama's voyage of discovery. The cooperative is a custodian of traditional Talha winemaking — fermentation in clay amphorae — which it showcases at its Casa das Talhas wine tourism venue, alongside the Taberna dos Arcos and its work with centennial vineyards.
