Quinta Vale do Tourão

Portugal

Where tradition walks beside you

Quinta Vale do Tourão Yesterday, Today, and Always

Since 2020, under the thoughtful stewardship of Telma Lourenço, Quinta Vale do Tourão has embraced its full potential — blending tradition with a vision for the future.

Following careful studies, the estate shifted to organic cultivation, now proudly nurturing 10 hectares of almond trees, 5 hectares of olive groves, and 1.2 hectares of vineyard.

Deeply committed to preserving Portuguese heritage, the farm also raises native breeds such as the Churra Mondegueira sheep and the Mirandesa donkey.

Rooted in sustainability, the quinta transforms its own natural resources — like sheep's milk, wild lavender (rosmaninho), and almonds — into artisan products. These include handcrafted soaps and gourmet almond goods, honoring time-honored traditions while looking forward.

At Quinta Vale do Tourão, the past is respected, the present is celebrated, and the future is cultivated with care.Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.
