MAINOVA was the standout of our Portugal trip, and Gabrielle is a big part of why. She didn't rush us through anything — she took the time to walk us through every pour, the food pairings were thoughtful, and the property itself is gorgeous. The wines were top class across the board. Honestly, I'd go back just to spend another afternoon with Gabrielle. If you're planning a tasting in Portugal, put MAINOVA on the list.
We had an incredible afternoon at Mainova enjoying the sunshine and surroundings of the property. The wine tasting was so much fun and we got to try so many of their unique and delicious wines. David was so knowledgeable about the estate and the wines especially impressive given he has only worked there for a few months. His passion for the wine and the project really came through.
Best time ever
Absolutely an amazing time. David was faultless in his knowledge and attentive attitude. Made our day, myself, wife, daughter and our dog a most unforgettable experience. A must for anybody visiting the area. The wine and olive all experience something I shall remember for a life time. Thank you 🙏
We were a tour group of 25 and had an excellent lunch with unlimited wine. Pedro took us through the winery explaining how the different wines were made. He was funny and knowledgeable. We loved him! Would highly recommend visiting this winery!

Mainova Wine and Olive Tasting
Mainova felt welcoming from the time we pulled thru the entry gates. It’s beautiful and the carbon dated olive tree of 3000+ yrs is a treat. Our wine and olive oil tasting was top notch! I’ve experienced tasting/tours in Italy, Napa , Sedona, basically all over the USA. My shipment just arrived beautifully! Thank you
Amei a experiência! A vinícola é linda, o David, que nos guiou, é excelente e os vinhos são ótimos. Recomendo muito.

Such a fantastic wine tasting experience 🍷
A special mention to Gabriela, who guided us through everything—her knowledge of local history & the winemaking process really made the dégustation come alive. She explained each wine with passion and clarity, making it both fun and insightful.
Beautiful setting, excellent wines, and an unforgettable moment. I highly recommend booking!

This was a wonderful experience that should not be missed. Our great guide, Pedro, took us driving through the vineyards and olive oil groves explaining everything to us. We even saw a Grove of very old Olive trees, one of them about 2500 years old established through carbon dating. Then at the tasting the wine and olive oil was wonderful. The Estate is in the rolling Hills about half an hour outside Evora, and it’s a beautiful setting that one could sit and drink in forever. The tasting afterwards was in a beautiful building with wide windows overlooking a vineyards and growth. Could sit here forever.

Don’t miss this fantastic experience outside of EVORA Portugal. Magnificent.
From the moment we arrived at this young vineyard we were wowed by Pedro and his enthusiasm and knowledge of the vineyard. So much funn to go in thee truck around the vineyard itself. He stopped once by a rosebush explaining t
My girlfriend and I didn’t know what to expect out of our visit to MAINOVA but out of our 10 day trip through Europe it was one of our favorite experiences. I had only been to one other vineyard tour (in Tuscany) and MAINOVA blew it out of the water. We found out that the name/word MAINOVA is defined as “youngest daughter” but we thought it should really have the definition “of the highest kind, quality, and order; supreme”. Not only was the wine fantastic, (alongside sound branding and graphic design) but our guide Pedro was a perfect example of whatd we want in someone teaching us about olive oil and natural wines. He was Incredibly knowledgeable and hilarious. We were actually bummed we couldn’t hang out longer. I will suggest this as a stop to anyone making their way through Portugal.

We had such a fun time at Mainova! Pedro gave us an adventurous tour of the vineyards and olive tree groves. He had a sense of humor that matched ours — we shared a lot of laughs and felt right at home throughout the entire experience. It was unpretentious and hip. The wine and snacks were delicious. I could have drunk the entire bottle of olive oil; it was amazing. We shipped home a few bottles of wine and olive oil and are really looking forward to enjoying them again and being reminded of our great time there.
