Donde los caminos de Nelas se cruzan en un barrio florido, escondiendo susurros de vino, dramas rurales y flores que guardan secretos del Dão.
Absolutely! Crossed Paths, the wine house of Dão Sul, is generally open from Monday to Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. However, since opening hours may vary, especially on holidays or during the low season, I strongly recommend checking the official website before your visit: Crossed Paths Official or calling +351 232 941 716.
Entry to Crossed Paths does not have a fixed price like a traditional museum, as they offer different types of guided tours and wine tasting experiences, each with its own price. Options range from basic visits with tasting to more complete experiences with food pairings and lunches. I suggest exploring their options and rates here: Crossed Paths Experiences.
For a complete visit including a winery tour and a standard tasting, I would recommend setting aside between 1.5 and 2 hours. If you choose a longer experience with food pairing or lunch, you may need between 3 and 4 hours to enjoy everything Crossed Paths has to offer without rushing.
Crossed Paths is an innovative wine project that is part of the Global Wines group, with deep roots in the Dão region. What makes it special is its combination of ancestral techniques with a modern vision of viticulture, seeking to express the essence of the Dão terroir through elegant and distinctive wines. Its commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in every bottle.
Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are undoubtedly the best times to visit Crossed Paths. In spring, the vineyards are bursting into life, and in autumn, especially during the harvest, you can experience the excitement of grape picking and the transformation of grapes into wine. Avoid peak summer if you do not enjoy intense Portuguese heat.
Yes, Crossed Paths has made efforts to be accessible. The new winery is designed with spacious areas, and most of the spaces for visits and tastings are accessible. However, I suggest contacting them directly before your visit to inform them of your specific needs and confirm full accessibility in all areas of interest: +351 232 941 716.
Nelas and its surroundings in the Dão region offer much more. Do not miss the charming historic center of Nelas, visit the nearby city of Viseu with its impressive cathedral and museums, or explore historic villages such as Santar. The region is ideal for wine tourism and local gastronomy. You can find more information at: Nelas Town Hall.
Of course! First, book your visit in advance, especially if you want a specific experience or are visiting on a weekend. Second, do not hesitate to ask the guides questions; they are very knowledgeable. Third, take the opportunity to buy some of their excellent wines, which are not always easy to find everywhere. And if you are driving, choose a sober driver for the tastings. Enjoy the magic of Dão!
