The Regional Wine Museum is located in the town of Redondo, right in the heart of the village. Its central position, on Praça da República, offers a natural starting point for exploring the local culture and atmosphere of Redondo, an Alentejo town with a strong connection to its traditions.
This museum is dedicated to telling the story and tradition of viticulture in the Alentejo. Inaugurated in 2001, it was designed to be a place of knowledge, where visitors can discover the journey of wine in the region. Its permanent exhibitions guide visitors through the various stages of production, from vineyard work to the moment of tasting.
The museum's collection consists of a variety of pieces that illustrate the art of winemaking. It is possible to see agricultural tools, old objects, images, and texts describing the winemaking process. The presence of ceramic material is particularly noteworthy, given Redondo's tradition as a center for ceramic production. Among the most emblematic pieces are the talhas, those large clay containers, which are testaments to ancestral winemaking methods, keeping alive the millennia-old practice of "talha wine" in the region.
In addition to its permanent collection, the Regional Wine Museum functions as a dynamic space. It regularly hosts thematic exhibitions and meetings dedicated to the world of wine, enriching the experience of its visitors. On-site, a multimedia kiosk allows for deeper knowledge of regional winegrowing practices, offering an interactive layer to the visit and enabling a greater immersion in the Alentejo wine heritage.
