Adega Cartuxa
Adega Cartuxa (Fundação Eugénio de Almeida)
A long-established winery on the edge of Évora, home of Alentejo's famous red wine Pêra-Manca, with cellar tours and tastings available by reservation.
Adega Cartuxa belongs to the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation. Its cellars are located in an old Jesuit estate north of the city, where it produces Pêra-Manca, one of Alentejo's most famous red wines, along with other Cartuxa wines and olive oil. The winery offers guided tours and tasting packages at different levels, and reservations must be made online in advance. It is about 2 km from the old town, roughly 5 minutes by taxi, and the nearby Cartuxa Monastery is not open to the public.
