These were the "mills" of old, moved by the wind, heavy granite millstones, transformed wheat seeds into flour from which delicious bread was made, which "satisfied" the hunger of those who had little to eat.

Built in the 19th century, the house was restored in 1923 by the Swiss architect Ernesto Korrodi. The visit to the museum begins with a brief explanation of the company's history, followed by a guided tour of the old wine cellars – and, of course, you can also participate in a tasting at the end.

Great View!

At the top of the Serra do Louro stand the windmills which, in the not so distant past, were an important industry for processing cereals. The force of the wind hits the open sails, turning an axle, which in turn transmits the rotation to a limestone stone that rotates on another fixed one. These stones, called "millstones", receive the cereal grains between them, transforming them into flour.

The Bunch of Grapes is a work of art... Azeitão, in the district of Setúbal, is only about 40 kilometres from the capital, following the national road 10. Made up of small, beautiful villages, it is a perfect place to choose as a weekend itinerary. In fact, I recommend that you visit Azeitão on the second weekend of the month, when on Sundays, the crafts fair takes place in the central square of Vila Nogueira. And my suggestion is to start your itinerary on a Saturday morning. Start in Vila Nogueira de Azeitão at Praça da República, known here as Rossio, where you can admire the statue in the shape of a huge bunch of grapes that acts as a fountain and reminds us that we are in a land of wines, the Palace of the Dukes of Aveiro, and the statue of the poet and teacher Sebastião da Gama.

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to discover the origins of Azeitão, a town located in the heart of the Arrábida Natural Park. The name Azeitão, of Arabic origin (azzeittum), refers to the vast olive groves that once covered the region. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages and, over the centuries, agriculture, especially viticulture and olive cultivation, shaped the landscape that still characterises the region today, with farms and small settlements that maintain these traditions. Azeitão gained renown from the 15th century onwards, when it became one of the favourite places of the Portuguese nobility, being shaded by the majestic Serra da Arrábida. The route begins and ends in Vila Nogueira de Azeitão and passes through several historic villages, including Aldeia Rica, Oleiros, Aldeia de Irmãos, Piedade, Portela, São Pedro, Casais da Serra and Picheleiros, always under the imposing presence of the Serra and its traditional paths.

José Maria da Fonseca is a family-owned Portuguese wine producer that was established in 1834. The estate takes its name from its founder, José Maria da Fonseca, and is known for its broad portfolio of table and fortified wines from around the country, in regions such as Setúbal Peninsula, Alentejo, Douro, Dão and the Vinho Verde zone.

It was designed according to the rules of the late Baroque period, between 1764 and 1777. Legend has it that whoever drinks from this water will be forever linked to Azeitão. The Fountain in Vila Nogueira de Azeitão has been classified as a Property of Municipal Interest since 1977. It was built between 1764 and 1777 and bears the Coat of Arms of King José I. It is called Chafariz dos Amazados because, according to legend, when it was finished, visitors were astonished by its grandeur...
