Nestled in the picturesque village of Provesende, in the heart of the Douro Valley, Marmelão Winery is more than just a vineyard—it’s a family legacy. At the helm of this small, organic winery are generations of passion and dedication, where every step of the journey is overseen with love and care.
The inspection and control of the construction works at Marmelão are carried out by two very special women: Iva, the matriarch of the family at 88 years old, and Clara, the wife of the winery’s owner. Together, they ensure that every detail meets the high standards that Marmelão is becoming known for. Their work isn’t just about building a winery—it’s about crafting an experience that reflects the traditions of the region and the spirit of the family.
Marmelão isn’t just a place to enjoy exquisite wines; it’s a destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in the rich culture of Douro. Visitors will have the opportunity to indulge in curated wine tastings and learn the secrets of traditional Portuguese cooking through intimate, hands-on classes. Every tasting and cooking experience is designed to celebrate the flavors of the region and the unique character of our organic wines.
As we prepare for our grand opening in 2025, Marmelão is more than ready to welcome guests into the fold of our family, offering an authentic experience in one of Portugal’s most iconic wine regions.
Join us, and discover the heart and soul of Douro Valley at Marmelão.
