Herdade da Calada

We make one wine tour a year. This year we  spend 7 days in Alentejo and visit about 15 wineries and taste close to 100 wines. We recommend to visit Herdade da Calada to experience warm hospitality and to tast excellent wines. Ana was our wine master and she is very knowledgeable and very friendly. Or even better: book a night in their cozy hotel. You will not regret it. 

We visited Herdade da Calada without knowing much about it, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We were overwhelmed with how much we loved everything about it.

The estate is gated and feels very private. Our room was located in a large guesthouse containing 3 bedroom/bathroom suites as well as a kitchen, large dining area, and spacious living area. Everything was clean, comfortable, and inviting. Breakfast was included with our stay and was delicious each morning. There is a gorgeous pool located behind the guesthouse which we were welcome to use. All of the employees and staff we came in contact with were lovely to us during our stay. We felt like part of the family!

The estate is beautiful and well kept. We lost count of the number of different flowers and flowering plants we saw. It was a joy to just walk around and look at the scenery which also included cork trees, olive trees, a pond, cows, and obviously grape vines.

Our stay included a tour of the estate and the winemaking facilities as well as a wine and olive oil tasting. This was conducted by Ana who completely charmed us. She is a real asset to the estate, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and tasting with her.

During the days, we drove short distances to sightsee and have lunch and dinner out. But it was wonderful to return to the estate at sundown and enjoy some wine by the pool.

We have fond memories of Herdade da Calada and we plan to return and bring friends and family!

Excellent wine with a very friendly host. Ana was fantastic- funny and perfect English. Awesome getting to see the bottling process up close, and great cheese and charcuterie while tasting. Best part is the wines were fantastic!

At the end of a dirt-road through the fields surrounding Evora, a majestic portal welcomes you to the Herdade da Calada. The domain, initially a wine- and olive-oil production facility was extended with a very luxurious B&B consisting of only three large rooms next to a large living room with kitchen (we were told there were some appartments too, but we didn't have the occasion to take a look at them).
The outside swimming-pool is heavenly and surrounded by a beautiful garden - one wonders how it is maintained in the Portuguese heat at times.
Breakfast is served in the living room and has all it takes to start the day.

You can attend a wine- and olive oil tasting, provided it is requested a couple of days upfront. We asked for it when we arrived (on a Friday afternoon) but our host Ana gave us a small tour of the production facility, and had us taste two of their wines. They were both as excellent as our stay in the B&B.

If you're looking for a quite and restful place to stay, this is definitely a contender for a gold medal !

Our group of 3 couples had a great time during our wine tasting experience.  The wines and olive oils were wonderful.  They also provided cheese and cured meats to go with the tasting.  The sommelier was knowledgeable, and provided an enjoyable experience.

Fun wine tasting experience

PT:
Um fim de semana estragado. Falta de transparência e gerente extremamente mal educado. Sobretaxa de 5eur por hora se o check in fosse efectuado depois das 16h da tarde (mesmo entrando num dia de semana), que só fomos avisados no dia antes da chegada, quando a reserva já estava paga e não podíamos cancelar. Adicionalmente, obrigaram nos a abandonar as instalações (incluindo espaços comuns exteriores , como a pisicina e jardim) à hora do check out no domingo, não havendo se quer abertura para dar o almoço a crianças.Acima de tudo a intransigência, a falta de profissionalismo e má educação do gerente faz-nos alertar a todos de que este é um sítio onde o hóspede não se sente bem vindo, mas como se estivesse a fazer um favor ao dono por estar ali.

ES:
Un fin de semana arruinado.
Falta de transparencia y gerente muy mal educado. Sobretaja de 5eur por hora si el check in se hiciera después de las 16h (incluso en un día laborable), política que nos fue comunicada el día antes de la llegada, cuando la reserva ya estaba pagada y no podiamos cancelar. Además, nos obligaron a abandonar las instalaciones (incluidos los espacios exteriores comunes, como la piscina y el jardín) a la hora del check out del domingo, sin dejarnos dar la comida a los niños. Sobre todo, la intransigencia, la falta de profesionalidad y la mala educación del gerente nos hace alertar a todos de que este es un lugar donde el huésped no se siente bienvenido, sino como si le estuviera haciendo un favor al dueño.

EN:
Weekend ruined.
Lack of transparency and extremely rude manager. One day before our arrival we were notified of a surcharge of 5eur per hour if the check in was after 4 pm (even on a weekday). By then, the reservation was already paid and we could not cancel. Additionally, they forced us to leave the facilities (including common outdoor spaces, such as the swimming pool and garden) at check-out time on Sunday, not even giving  us the chance to give lunch to our kids. Above all, the manager's lack of manners and professionalism, makes us want to alert everyone that this is a place where the guests do not feel welcome or valued. We felt like we were doing them a favour by being there.
