The Adega Regional de Colares, founded in 1931, is the oldest cooperative winery in the country. Currently, it gathers the majority of producers in the Demarcated Region of Colares, playing an important social role in the municipality of Sintra. As a local Cooperative Winery, this places great importance on the protection and preservation of the Colares Wine Culture, its unique grape varieties and its original cultivation methods. The oenological philosophy is based on the imperative respect for the Colares terroir, continuing the work of the ancestors.
