Overview

Landscape and wine

Castelo Rodrigo, Pinhel and Cova da Beira form three subregions, roughly between 300 and 700 metres and under strong continental influence.

Altitude and cool nights support fresh whites, reds and sparkling wines, including uncommon local varieties.

Overview

Planning your visit

Treat Cova da Beira and the Pinhel–Castelo Rodrigo axis as separate trips to respect the scale of the region.

Use these bases to build a two or three-day trip. Confirm visitor access, times, language, price and accessibility directly with each producer.
