We had booked a tour but unfortunately mixed up the date ourselves. While we take responsibility for that mistake, what really disappointed us was the company’s complete lack of flexibility or willingness to find a solution. There was no effort to meet us halfway, and it felt like they simply didn’t care about us as customers — just about making money. This is not what we would expect from a customer-oriented business.
Great place to sample the local wines in a lovely town square. Very knowledgeable staff & reasonable prices
If you are in the neighbourhood of Palmela or want to choose a good weekend plan, the Casa Mae dos vinhos is the place to go, to try local wines and food. But please try a selection of Moscatel from Setubal Peninsula. You won’t regret and will never forget. The prices are very acceptable. Enjoy
Great location and amazing interiors faithful to the original house back when it was producing wine. Outstanding choice of wines from the Setúbal wine region showing a complete portfolio with almost all the producer of the region and including the famous “moscatéis”. The big downside is the service where the antipathy reins and the lack of energy to help beyond the minimal required shadows all the other good features. The wine service is basically a few wines that are at serving temperature and anything else that you might want to try you must have it at room temperature with no effort from the staff to mitigate that. In the end this spot should be the facade for the tourism in the region and at some situations might leave the wrong impression due to what was mentioned before.
An excellent facility showcasing the entire range of wines from Setubal and Palmela. Many of the wines are available for tasting. The building was a former winery and still featured many quirky original elements on the winery. If you’re heading out to see the local wineries this is a good place to start.
