Portugal, Lourinhã - Dressage close by the Sea

It is a privilege to be a welcome guest at this exclusive wine and equestrian establishment. You will have the opportunity to experience the good life, including dressage tuition riding highly trained Lusitanos from renowned stud farms whilst enjoying beautiful surroundings and, to top it all off, the chance to enjoy the farm's award-winning Pinot Noir wine. The entire property exudes quality, personal commitment and positive energy. The desire to recreate the grandeur of past ages without scrimping on the detail is visible everywhere, and the property is decorated with beautiful statues and paintings (often with a horse motif) that makes you both happy and inspired.

As a rider and guest of Rita and Carlos, you are an important person. Rita and Pedro (team manager and trainer, respectively) are careful to ensure the best possible dressage week or weekend, based on your experience, situation and goals.

This large property is Carlos’s childhood home. Rita and Carlos took over the farm 20 years ago and restarted the family's wine production. Even the wine making is about quality, not quantity. The wine production follows traditional the time-tested methods, updated to be in touch modern times, all to bring out the best in the wine.

The 120-hectare property has vineyards, pear orchards, tennis court, basketball court and a large pool.

This is an excellent destination for families and groups where not everyone rides, as there are several fine golf courses within a reasonable distance, only 9 km (6 miles) to the sea with fantastic surf beaches and about 40 minutes to beautiful Lisbon.
