"Thanks to top-quality local ingredients, well-defined textures and harmonious flavours, everything is so delicious here that you’ll want to try every dish!This restaurant, situated on a large farm-wine estate surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and even a reservoir, boasts a modern look with hints of Scandinavian design. It is also self-sufficient in vegetables as it has its own market garden that provides all of its organic ingredients. Chef Carlos Teixeira’s constant focus on sustainability results in modern cooking that is based around seasonal ingredients both from the farm estate and the Alentejo. His dishes (textures of corn, “Lucio perca alentejana” (pork and clams) with potatoes, local lamb with rice and a vegetable salad, etc) are presented on a tasting menu (Carta Branca) on which you can choose between five or seven courses, both available with a wine pairing option which is chosen by most guests. Wine tourism activities are also available, including a visit of the cellar." - Michelin Inspector

Great dining experience! We went to both the bar side and the restaurant to have lunch within 2 days. First day we arrived, was told that electricity was out because of the storm. The bar food was great! And the receptionist was very helpful to help us to book another restaurant. The next day we went back for the real lunch. Fantastic experience. We chose the 7 moments menu. Most of the dishes were fantastic (towards the strong taste side - great for wine pairing). The only one dish I wasn’t sure was the fish liver, which has super strong taste. We on top also got one wine pairing and one natural drinks menu. The olive oil they offered were super delicious! We bought a couple of bottles back home.

I loved the service, the experience and the setting. We’ve been several times (we visit every time we go to Portugal) even before it was a Michelin ⭐️ I actually loved the vibe before the ⭐️ , but continue to enjoy and appreciate the creativity of the chef in the use of a local food. We had the seven moments with a wine pairing, highly recommend!

One of the best meals we had in Portugal and a Michelin restaurant. As expected for a winery, the wine pairing was great with a combination of both commercial and experimental wines. Nevertheless, the star of the meal is definitely the food. It is just outstanding with every single dish being exceptionally tasty and well balanced made with local ingredients and flavours.

Impressive and unforgettable experience, from the food to the staff to the environment, everything was thought carefully and adjusted to perfection. We got the 7 menu food and wine, and we went through a journey of experiences with it, one better than the other. Well done Esporão!

We had an unforgettable experience dining at Esporão today. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed — not only by the attentive and well-informed staff, but also by the breathtaking setting. The views over the reservoir and vineyards are absolutely stunning and set the tone for a relaxed, elevated meal. The wine selection was outstanding — thoughtfully curated and deeply connected to the region, with excellent recommendations from our knowledgeable server. As for the food: it was truly remarkable. Each dish was creative, beautifully presented, and full of depth — a perfect blend of innovation and respect for Alentejo’s culinary heritage. Every bite felt like a celebration of local flavor, reimagined in a modern and thoughtful way. We were especially appreciative of how inclusive and welcoming the staff were. We were joined by friends who had a certified service dog, and we were made to feel completely comfortable dining indoors. The team handled everything with kindness and professionalism, which, unfortunately, is not always the case in Portugal — but Esporão absolutely sets the gold standard here. This was not just a meal — it was an experience, and one we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommended.

During our 3 weeks in Portugal the dining experience here is by far the best ever. Each dish surpassed the previous one and led to the most amazing dessert ever. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We stopped in to sample of of their olive oil. We were served up a 'flight' of six different kinds of olive oil along with bread. Our server took the time to explain the different olive oils that we would be sampling, and she was kind enough to answer all of our questions regarding the process of making olive oil. It was a very fun and relaxing afternoon.

Did wine bar and biological wine from this winery. Drawn here by its association with Monte Velho. Liked the tinto reserve at Dom Feijoa.

Winery tour is available and their appointments are somewhat flexible. Tastings are €12 for premium and €5 for standard. It is still possible to do a tasting without an appointment, but it is always a good idea to call ahead because the location is in middle of nowhere. You can always opt out on the tour and go straight to the tasting at the bar. This winery also sells the famous olive oil that you perhaps may have seen in the various restaurants in Portugal. Prices are decent, so stock up if you can or if your luggage allows it. Obviously, they also sell all the wines on the tasting menu lists. They do not ship to the United States, but they have referrals of their distributors (mostly in the East Coast and one from Seattle). Wines varies here, so have a good idea of what you might want to try. The profile from each of the menu is quite different and you can only choose four of each tasting menu. The tasting menu has at least 8 to 12 choices. If you have the car and the time, it is worth making a stop at this winery. Saluté!
