Discover António Vilela Areias wines
During the experience you will get to know the wines made from Quinta do Couço grapes.
The Vinho Verde DOC Loureiro shows a fresh, light and aromatic profile, while the Arinto Brut IG Minho sparkling wine combines freshness, elegance and fine, persistent bubbles.
More than tasting a wine, we want you to discover the land, the history and the people behind every bottle.
An estate with a history
Quinta do Couço has belonged to the family since 1864, the year it was acquired by António Vilela Areias.
In 1889, the wine produced on the estate was already crossing borders: António Vilela Areias sent the 1888 red wine vintage to the Paris Universal Exhibition.
Today, more than a century later, we continue to write that story and want to share it with our visitors.
