In the small town of Mealhada, just outside Coimbra, lies one of Portugal’s most cherished wine secrets: the MESSIAS Caves. Founded in 1926, this family-rooted business has been crafting exceptional wines and sparkling wines for nearly a century, far from the crowds of more commercial wine cellars.
With GO! Walks Portugal, you’ll enjoy a private guided visit to these atmospheric cellars — an experience designed exclusively for our travellers. Discover the process behind their renowned espumante and vinho do Porto, and meet the people who carry on the legacy of MESSIAS with true dedication and heart.
The tour ends on a flavourful note with a curated tasting: one sparkling wine, one Port wine, and a selection of regional tapas and petiscos, perfectly paired to enhance the wines’ character. And for a sweet finish — a bite of their unique Port Wine Chocolate, made with Messias Tawny Port.
This is a must-do for wine lovers who appreciate authenticity, warm hospitality, and the beauty of tradition.
