Quinta do Quetzal is located on the sunny slopes near the Serra do Mendro mountain range, in the area known as Horta do Zacarias. It is integrated into the locality of Vila de Frades, belonging to the municipality of Vidigueira, in the heart of Alentejo.
Its position offers wide views over the surrounding vineyards and the Alentejo landscape, benefiting from a particular microclimate that influences the region's wine production.
More than a property dedicated to wine, Quinta do Quetzal is conceived as a celebration of the Alentejo land, its stories, and the joy of sharing. It is a meeting point where passion for wine and dedication to art harmonize, creating a distinct environment for visitors.
This place reflects a deep connection to the authenticity of the region, being the result of a family's vision that believes in the wonders of Alentejo and seeks to elevate them through creativity.
Wine production at Quinta do Quetzal seeks to capture the soul of Alentejo, with wines that reflect the property's unique terroir. The winery, inaugurated in 2006, was designed with gravity principles and a touch of modernity in its architecture.
The interior spaces were designed to take advantage of natural light and provide views over the vineyards outside. A particular detail is the practice of playing classical music daily in the barrel aging areas.
Art plays a central role in Quinta do Quetzal's identity. The Quetzal Art Centre is a space dedicated to presenting contemporary art exhibitions, located in a rural context away from urban centers.
In addition to the exhibition center, visitors will find art installations scattered throughout the property, integrated into the vineyard landscape. This connection to art reflects a family heritage and adds a cultural dimension to the on-site experience, with a colorful tile mural also standing out.
The landscape surrounding Quinta do Quetzal invites tranquility and contemplation. The vast stretches of vineyards under the wide Alentejo sky create a serene setting that can be enjoyed from various points on the property.
The buildings and outdoor spaces are designed to allow visitors to feel immersed in the natural beauty and calm characteristic of this deep Alentejo area.
