Finding the perfect gift at the last minute doesn’t have to mean compromising on meaning or originality. In Portugal, wine experiences offer something far more lasting than a physical present: time well spent, authentic encounters, and memories rooted in place.
From hands-on winemaking to intimate tastings in historic cellars, wine experience vouchers are a thoughtful way to celebrate special moments, whether for seasoned wine lovers or curious explorers eager to connect with Portugal’s wine culture.
Below, we highlight three distinctive wine experiences across different regions of Portugal, each one available as a voucher and ideal for a refined last-minute gift.
Set in the heart of the Douro Valley, The Blender’s Table at Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is designed for those who wish to connect deeply with time, land, and craftsmanship.
Guided by one of Quinta Nova’s Wine Educators, participants are invited to explore the art of blending, combining different wines to create a fully personalized batch. This immersive experience goes beyond tasting, offering a rare insight into the creative decisions behind a great wine.
The journey continues with manual bottling and corking, followed by the creation and design of a custom label. Each participant takes home an exclusive, signed bottle, a truly one-of-a-kind memory of the moment. The experience concludes with an iconic tasting in a private setting, where place, history, and wine come together in a unique and unrepeatable way.
The experience includes:
Guided visit to the winery and the Fernanda Ramos Amorim Wine Museum Centre
Blending session, bottling, corking, and custom label creation
One souvenir bottle produced by the participant
Tasting of three iconic wines from Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo
In the rolling plains of Alentejo, this hands-on experience at João Portugal Ramos offers a practical and engaging introduction to the world of winemaking.
Participants are welcomed into a creative learning environment where they discover the fundamentals of grape varieties, blending, and wine structure, learning by doing, with guidance from an expert winemaking team.
The experience is both educational and personal, culminating in the creation of a custom wine. Alongside the winemaking session, guests enjoy a guided visit to the winery and cellars, followed by tastings that highlight the region’s flavors and traditions.
Experience highlights:
Creation of a personal wine blend
Guided tour of the winery and cellars
Premium tasting of Oliveira Ramos olive oil
Regional delicacies, including Alentejo bread and sheep cheese
Designed for those who appreciate refined flavors and sensory exploration, this wine and cheese pairing experience invites participants to discover how different wines interact with a variety of carefully selected cheeses.
Guided by tasting principles and flavor balance, guests are encouraged to explore contrasts and harmonies —from fresh and creamy textures to more intense and aged profiles. Each pairing reveals how acidity, structure, and aroma can transform both wine and cheese, creating an ideal match.
This experience is relaxed, informative, and accessible, making it an excellent choice for both wine enthusiasts and those beginning their journey into wine tasting.
The experience includes:

In Portugal, wine is more than a product; it is a story, a place, and a way of bringing people together. Offering a wine experience voucher is an invitation to slow down, discover, and connect.
Even when time is short, the right gift can still feel considered and special. With wine experiences across the country, a last-minute decision can become a lasting memory.
