Vinha da Ordem, a renowned Portuguese wine producer, has a rich history that dates back to Portugal's founding in the 12th century. Rooted in the picturesque region of Valhelhas, the winery's legacy is intertwined with the history of the land and its people.

Following the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors, Valhelhas suffered significant population losses. To encourage resettlement, King D. Sancho I granted privileges to new settlers, including the right to cultivate vineyards and produce wine. These early records of winemaking in Valhelhas mark the beginning of Vinha da Ordem's story.

In recent years, Vinha da Ordem has embraced sustainable practices, prioritizing chemical-free agriculture and the production of natural wines with minimal intervention. The transition to organic farming in 2022 reflects their commitment to ecosystem conservation.

The Saraiva Jerónimo family has been at the helm of Vinha da Ordem for four generations since the mid-19th century. Their deep connection to the land and commitment to traditional winemaking practices have shaped the vineyard's identity. They honor their ancestors' knowledge and passion for the craft by producing natural wines with minimal intervention.

Beyond wine production, Vinha da Ordem serves as a sanctuary for a diverse range of wildlife. The property boasts a small biotope, characterized by native trees, shrubs, and aromatic herbs. Wild boars, foxes, pollinating bees, and various reptiles find refuge within this natural haven. The Ribeira de São Miguel, a pristine stream flowing through the property, supports aquatic life and contributes to the overall biodiversity of the area.

Drawing upon centuries-old viticultural knowledge, Vinha da Ordem produces natural wines that celebrate Valhelhas's unique terroir. Using grapes from ancient vines and local varieties, the winery's micro vinifications reflect its passion for preserving tradition and respecting the natural environment.
