José Maria da Fonseca House Museum
Built in the 19th century, it was renovated in 1923 by the Swiss architect Ernesto Korrodi, having been the residence of the Soares Franco family until the mid-1970s. With a very special facade and beauty gardens, it has always been associated with the image of José Maria da Fonseca. The tour around Casa-Museu starts with a brief explanation of the company's history, followed by a visit to the old wineries: Mata Winery and Teares Novos Winery, where the Periquita wine, and Adega dos Teares Velhos, where the oldest Muscatels in Setúbal rest - some of which are authentic relics that are over 100 years old.
In the end, the visitor will have the chance to get to know and taste some wines produced by José Maria da Fonseca. When visiting the Wine Shop, you can also get lost in the choice of a wine and you can also complement it with regional gourmet products,
