Monte das Herdades is a private property of six hundred hectares in a natural reserve, in Alcacovas, in the heart of the Alentejo. It began as a family project and grew into an author-led wine estate, where nature, privacy, and elegance meet in harmony — cork-oak groves, vineyards, and open landscapes stretching to the horizon.
The location, the climate, and the biodiversity led to the planting of five hectares of organic vineyard, in a vineyard-garden concept where varieties such as Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay are grown. For weddings, it brings together the soul of an Alentejo monte and ample terraces, aromatic gardens, and the silence of the countryside — a property lived in full, without a rush.
For couples who want a private wine-estate wedding in the Alentejo, this is the spot. If you ask us, it’s the right property for those who want wine, nature, and total privacy.
Monte das Herdades has on-site stays, so the group is lodged at the property itself. Mary Me coordinates the allocation between the wedding party, family, and VIPs, with the multi-day programme and transfers from Lisbon airport handled.
Monte das Herdades began as a family project on a six-hundred-hectare property in Alcacovas, in the Alentejo, surrounded by cork-oak groves. The climate, the location, and the biodiversity of the place led to the planting of five hectares of organic vineyard, in a singular vineyard-garden concept, where varieties such as Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay grow — the basis of the house wines.
The result is a wine estate where author-led winemaking coexists with hospitality: a private house, in the middle of nature, designed to be lived calmly. It’s the Alentejo at its most elegant and discreet.
If you ask us, there are properties that show themselves and properties that are inhabited. Monte das Herdades is clearly the second kind.
We’re in Alcacovas, in the heart of the Alentejo, in a natural reserve — among cork-oak groves, vineyards, and open landscapes, about an hour and twenty from Lisbon airport. It’s the deep Alentejo, of wide horizon and silence, yet at a comfortable distance from the capital.
The advantage for a destination wedding is total privacy on a six-hundred-hectare property: the house is yours, in the middle of nature, with an organic vineyard, terraces, and aromatic gardens — yet with Evora and the richness of the Alentejo nearby for the guests.
Anything the guests might want to do — wine tasting, Evora, the Alentejo plain — is at hand. Arriving is easy. Leaving — we can’t quite guarantee that part.
Monte das Herdades is a private wine-estate wedding, in the heart of the Alentejo. The civil, symbolic, or religious ceremony takes place among the organic vineyard or in the gardens, with the open landscape behind; the cocktail spreads across the ample terraces, with a tasting of the house wines; dinner settles in the property’s spaces or in an outdoor structure, and the party runs on under the Alentejo sky.
With on-site stays and a six-hundred-hectare property, it’s the right scale for a multi-day wedding, private and immersive, with guests living the monte from morning to night. The vineyard-garden, the aromatic gardens, and the cork-oak groves make the setting; the Alentejo light does the rest.
It’s a venue that favours privacy, wine, and nature over spectacle — ideal for couples who want a property to themselves in the Alentejo. And this is exactly where our experience comes in. The couple’s session winds through the organic vineyard-garden, the aromatic gardens, the cork-oak groves, and the wide Alentejo horizon at golden hour. Pop the question. We handle the rest.
A private property of six hundred hectares, lived in full, is exactly where a planner’s coordination makes the difference, especially in designing a multi-day wedding and arranging suppliers and transfers for international guests. We handle the design of the day in coordination with the property’s team, the management of the stays for the group, and the transfers from Lisbon airport, an hour and twenty away. And there’s the practical side: the civil-ceremony paperwork in Portuguese, the sound permits, and a programme of wine tasting, Evora, and the Alentejo for the guests. From the first call to the last dance.
