Aliança Underground Museum

What a place! Combining art, African and East Indian culture and history with wine making. 2 options to choose from - just a tour or tour with tasting at the end. Highly recommend the second option. Great selection of wines to purchase to take home with you (also sparkling wine and grapa/aguardente). Amazing place, highly recommended. You can request a tour in different languages. For English, José is the best.

We went for a tasting and at the same time visited the museum. The museum is absolutely top-notch — I highly recommend visiting it. The guide was great, spent a lot of time with us, and answered many questions. As for the tasting, it was so-so. They only offered white sparkling wine and two types of sangria, even though they sell many different drinks, including at least red wine. There were also two small round snacks, which were tasty and served warm. So it’s better to visit the museum without the tasting.

You must come see this amazing private collection of art from around the world. We thought we were coming for a museum about wine and boy were we pleasantly surprised by what we found. Not only were there incredible caves filled with wine but also 150 million years+ old fossils and more. You do not want to miss this fantastic museum and wine tasting.

We didn't know that they only do guided tours at certain times.. But luckily we managed to get really nice guided tour just for the two of us with really nice and friendly guide... That was worth of 1.5 h of waiting.. Especially that we got nice lunch recommendations to spend the time.

A Great exhibition with a lot of fascinating paleontologic wonders and world’s treasures, it was all well explained by our tour guide and at the end we tasted some of the wines from local baga grapes and sangrias:) It’s worth seeing for sure. We would love to hear more about minerals and the African part of the exhibition, it was too short to take a look of every fine bit of it. Wonderful experience, thank you!

What a hidden gem. The tour was very interesting for the whole family including 8 years old , the size of the museum is enormous and unexpected , collection is great and precious and entrance ticket is only 6 euro including easing and free for children. Definitely recommend
