Quinta Picouto de Cima is a family-run Vinho Verde estate in Gominhães, Guimarães, about a 30-minute drive from Braga — just over 20 km on the N101. It's close enough for an afternoon and far enough away to feel otherworldly.

Those looking for wine tourism in Braga will find the estate just over 20 km from the city centre, in the municipality of Guimarães.

Here, the tasting is not at an anonymous counter: it is the family itself, which produces each bottle, showing the winery and telling the story of three generations dedicated to the only wine in the world that is called "green".

Combine the visit with the historic centre of Guimarães — the birthplace of Portugal and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
