Felgueiras Business Travel Guide
Entrepreneurship, art, ingenuity, innovation and work!
Quinta da Lixa is the living testimony to the passion that the Meireles Family always had for Vinho Verde. Present in several areas of the business world, this family, that already owned vineyards located around the small village of Lixa, decides in 1986 to create a small business that would become what is now the Quinta da Lixa - Sociedade Agrícola, Lda. The produced wine was initially sold in bulk but the Company was quick to realize that the quality and acceptance were such that estate bottling was imperative. Due to increased production, the construction of new installations to replace the primitive cellar was necessary because it was no longer possible to maintain the level of quality that characterized the Company's wines.
In 1994, therefore, construction work began on the current facilities. So a modern wine-production plant now stands on the Quinta da Lixa. It has a covered area of around 6000 sqm, and an installed capacity of 4 000 000 litres, plus offices, a laboratory, testing room and a place for selling direct to the public.
