YOGA & WINE EXPERIENCE HOLIDAY
PORTUGAL
14TH- 18TH SEPTEMBER 2026
LOCATION
At Quinta de Sanguinhedo, located in the North of Portugal between the cities of Amarante and Felgueiras, stands the Monverde Wine Experience hotel, the first wine hotel of the Vinho Verde Route.
As part of Quinta da Lixa, one of the country's largest Vinho Verde producers, the new hotel can be found in an area of 44 hectares, 30 of which vineyard dominated by the Avesso,Touriga Nacional, Vinhão, Arinto, and Loureiro grape varieties.
Only 64km/ 45 minute drive from Porto airport, the hotel hosts a spa and treatments; a restaurant serving the perfect harmony between the Portuguese ingredients and an exquisite wine list.
Learning a country by food is for most travellers their favourite way of immersing in local life.
Fresh seasonal ingredients play a key role in
preparation, and bringing out their original flavours of the region.
With a fantastic balcony over the vineyard, the wine bar is the place where you can have a selected choice of wines: a proper wine tasting or just a glass of wine.
ACCOMODATION
& HOTEL
Monverde Hotel features 46 rooms, each one with an intimate design within the comfort of a rural environment.
The concept behind the rooms is to essentially integrate each one of them into the global concept of the hotel, which is to link accommodation with the exploration and production of wine, promoting direct contact with this cultural heritage and with the surrounding landscape.
Each room can accommodate a double or twin bed arrangement or suitable for solo travellers with en suite.
The holiday includes a vineyard inspired experience each day, including:
-
wine tasting
-
forest encounter
-
off-road tour
The hotel also has the option of spa treatments, which can be book on arrival.

This trip is designed as a yoga holiday, not a retreat, meaning there are no strict schedules or restrictions to follow, simply an opportunity to relax, enjoy yoga, and savour the beauty of your surroundings. The experience is intended to be balanced and joyful, allowing guests to enjoy delicious meals from a full menu including meat dishes, with vegetarian options always available for those who prefer them.
