Paco do Morgado de Oliveira is the home of Fitapreta, one of the most celebrated wine projects in the Alentejo, next to Evora. A medieval paco founded in 1306, home to Antonio Macanita’s Fitapreta, with a cork-clad winery built in 2017, surrounded by vineyards and the wide Alentejo landscape — history, wine, and design in one place, around ten kilometres north of Evora.
To marry here is to marry among vineyards and old stone, with Fitapreta’s food and wines taking centre stage. It’s the Alentejo wine wedding taken seriously: authenticity, flavour, and the golden light of the plains, without a single note of cliche.
For couples who want a wine-and-history wedding in the heart of the Alentejo, this is the spot. If you ask us, it’s one of the most characterful wine houses in the region.
No accommodation on-site. Mary Me coordinates room blocks at the Evora hotels, a few minutes away, with the family-by-family allocation and transfers from Lisbon airport handled.
Paco do Morgado de Oliveira is a medieval paco founded in 1306 — one of the oldest and most important Morgados in Portugal — at Nossa Senhora da Graca do Divor, north of Evora. In 2017 it became the home of Fitapreta, Antonio Macanita’s wine project, with a cork-clad, gravity-fed winery built across the courtyard, restored with archaeological care.
Today, the paco and the winery are a wine-tourism destination, where the history of the building and author-led wine meet — including talha wines, fermented in clay amphorae, restored to the estate’s old cellars. It’s heritage in the service of wine, and wine in the service of celebration.
If you ask us, there are wineries that only make wine and wineries that make memory. Fitapreta is clearly the second kind.
We’re next to Evora, in the heart of the Alentejo — among vineyards, olive groves, and the golden plain, a few minutes from the city classified as a World Heritage Site and about an hour and a half from Lisbon airport. It’s serious countryside, wine, and history.
The advantage for a destination wedding is the combination of authenticity and culture: the Alentejo is genuine and quiet, but Evora — with its cathedral, Roman temple, and cuisine — is at the door 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.
Paco do Morgado de Oliveira is a wine-and-history wedding in the Alentejo. The civil, symbolic, or religious ceremony takes place among the vineyards or in the manor’s courtyard; the cocktail spreads with a tasting of the Fitapreta wines; dinner settles in the stone spaces — with the estate’s own restaurant, A Cozinha do Paco, at hand — or in an outdoor structure, and the party runs on across the plain, under the stars.
The history of the manor, the vineyards, and the author-led wine make the setting — and give a rich programme for the guests, with a winery visit and a tasting. It’s Alentejo authenticity, far from the formulas, with the golden light doing the rest.
It’s a venue that favours wine, history, and authenticity over spectacle — ideal for couples who want a wine house with soul next to Evora. And this is exactly where our experience comes in. The couple’s session winds through the vineyards, the restored manor stone, and the golden Alentejo plain at sunset. Pop the question. We handle the rest.
A historic winery in the heart of the Alentejo, without the turn-key infrastructure of a hotel, is exactly where a planner’s coordination makes the difference, arranging suppliers, accommodation, and transfers for international guests. We handle the design of the day in coordination with the Fitapreta team, the management of the room blocks at the Evora hotels — since the manor has no accommodation — and the transfers from Lisbon airport, an hour and a half 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.

From late spring to early autumn, to enjoy the vineyards outdoors — early autumn, at harvest, has a special charm. The Alentejo summer is hot, so we recommend a shaded plan and booking in advance.
