Portuguese viticulture and landscape heritage

Overview

Portugal is experiencing a focus on its viticulture and landscape heritage through both artistic and tourism-based activities.

Artistic exhibitions are highlighting the country’s natural and agricultural history. At the Museu do Douro, the ‘Castas Portuguesas’ exhibition displays 19th-century watercolors by Emílio de Oliveira Pimentel that provide a scientific and artistic record of Portuguese grapevine varieties. Simultaneously, artist Abílio Guimarães is presenting ‘Memórias do Nosso Tempo’ in Pindelo, using paintings to document local landscapes and landmarks.

In the agricultural sector, the grape harvest season is driving growth in enotourism. In the Douro region, traditional harvesting methods are being utilized alongside modern technology. In Redondo, programs at Herdade de São Miguel allow visitors to participate in immersive experiences, including manual harvesting, grape treading, and tastings of wine and olive oil.
