Sala de Provas Vinhos de Portugal - Lisbon
The "Sala de Provas Vinhos de Portugal", located in the historic Praça do Comércio in Lisbon, is an unmissable destination for wine tourism enthusiasts. This prestigious room, also known as the Ogival Room of Lisbon, is part of the ambitious project of ViniPortugal, an association dedicated to promoting world-renowned Portuguese wines.
A Journey through the World of Portuguese Wines
In the Sala de Provas, visitors have the unique opportunity to taste a carefully selected range of 12 wines, representing the different typologies and wine regions of Portugal. The experience is enhanced by the presence of specialized staff, providing an educational and welcoming environment. In addition to daily tastings, the room regularly organizes wine events, such as new wine launches, workshops, and thematic tastings, offering a comprehensive view of the rich Portuguese wine culture.
A Place Full of History
The location of the Sala de Provas could not be more emblematic. Situated in the western wing of Praça do Comércio, historically known as Terreiro do Paço, this place was for centuries the heart of power in Portugal, housing the Royal Palace until the earthquake of 1755. Today, the square is a vibrant center of activities, surrounded by elegant buildings that host various establishments, including government departments, restaurants, shops, and cafes.
Exploring the Municipality of Lisbon
When visiting the Sala de Provas Vinhos de Portugal, take the opportunity to explore the numerous attractions that Lisbon has to offer. Stroll through the picturesque streets of Alfama, the city's oldest neighborhood, where you can listen to fado, the traditional Portuguese music. Be sure to visit the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower, two architectural icons that testify to Portugal's glorious maritime past. For a more modern experience, head to the Parque das Nações, the site of Expo 98, which today houses the Lisbon Oceanarium, one of the largest aquariums in Europe. And, of course, a trip to Lisbon would not be complete without tasting the famous local pastries, including the irresistible pastéis de Belém. The city of Lisbon, with its enchanting mix of history, culture, and gastronomy, is the perfect place to complement your experience at the Sala de Provas Vinhos de Portugal.
Sobre Lisboa
Lisbon unfolds between its hills and the River Tagus, through cobbled streets, tiled façades and viewpoints overlooking the rooftops. Portugal’s capital invites you to pair its major monuments with the small pleasures of neighbourhood life: coffee at an outdoor table, an unhurried wander down a side street or a quiet moment by the river.
Neighbourhoods with different stories
In Alfama and Mouraria, narrow lanes and stairways invite exploration on foot. Lisbon Cathedral and São Jorge Castle offer an introduction to the old city, while the Portas do Sol viewpoint looks out over Alfama and the Tagus. For another perspective, head uphill to Graça and the Senhora do Monte viewpoint.
In Baixa Pombalina, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, the orderly street grid contrasts with the hillside neighbourhoods. Walk from Rossio to Praça do Comércio along Rua Augusta, then continue beside the river at Ribeira das Naus. Above Baixa, Chiado brings together bookshops, theatres and cafés; after dark, Bairro Alto is one of the city’s liveliest areas.
Belém and the waterfront
Set aside time for Belém, where the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower form a UNESCO World Heritage site. Combine the historic sights with a waterfront stroll and a stop for a pastel de Belém custard tart. To the east, Parque das Nações reveals another side of the capital, shaped by the urban transformation for Expo 98, contemporary architecture and waterside promenades.
Local flavours and time to wander
At the table, explore salt cod dishes, petiscos — small dishes to share — and pastéis de nata custard tarts. Fado offers another way into Lisbon’s culture, particularly in Alfama and Mouraria.
Plan your visit around neighbouring areas and allow time for hills and steps. Wear comfortable shoes for the cobbled streets and combine walking with public transport for longer journeys. Between monuments, leave room for the moments that need no itinerary: watching the river, discovering a square or lingering at a viewpoint.
