Winery tour is available and their appointments are somewhat flexible…read more Tastings are €12 for premium and €5 for standard. It is still possible to do a tasting without an appointment, but it is always a good idea to call ahead because the location is in middle of nowhere. You can always opt out on the tour and go straight to the tasting at the bar. This winery also sells the famous olive oil that you perhaps may have seen in the various restaurants in Portugal. Prices are decent, so stock up if you can or if your luggage allows it. Obviously, they also sell all the wines on the tasting menu lists. They do not ship to the United States, but they have referrals of their distributors (mostly in the East Coast and one from Seattle). Wines varies here, so have a good idea of what you might want to try. The profile from each of the menu is quite different and you can only choose four of each tasting menu. The tasting menu has at least 8 to 12 choices. If you have the car and the time, it is worth making a stop at this winery. Saluté!

My only regret is that we didn't stay longer to try more. Cartuxa Enoteca is one of several I had on my list to try and it did not disappoint. We ordered: Mushroom, sheeps milk cheese and mint gratin - outstanding! Sautéed squid, chilli, lemon and rosemary - great Sliced beef tongue- I didn't eat it but others at my table loved it! Fries in olive oil - good (I had the audacity to ask for mayo in a place that I believe make their own oil - they politely declined and said "no sauces - only olive oil taste") A couple of diff glasses of their reserve red - both were delicious The olive oil pudding - an absolute must try. I left extremely satisfied.
