Quinta da Bichinha is a centuries-old wine estate, in the Alenquer region, turned into a wedding space with good taste. The old cellars were renovated in 2003 to give a welcoming, distinctive space, surrounded by gardens and vineyards — and, inside, a lounge bar with warm décor and an imposing, contemporary hall with an LED dance floor.
Add to that a tranquil lake for the ceremony, well-kept gardens, and lodging on-site (eleven rooms, plus fifteen nearby). It’s the rare combination of rustic elegance, a serious party, and the logistics of an estate that has hosted weddings for years.
For couples who want a countryside wedding that ends on the dance floor, this is the spot. If you ask us, it’s the most festive wine estate in Alenquer.
The estate offers eleven rooms on-site and fifteen more nearby, twenty-six in total, so guests stay close and the wedding becomes a stay. Mary Me manages the allocation between the wedding party, family, and guests, with transfers handled.
Quinta da Bichinha is a wine property with centuries of history, in the Alenquer region — a land of long winemaking tradition north of Lisbon. In 2003, the old cellars were renovated and converted into an event space, preserving the original structure and giving it new life.
The result is a deliberate mix of eras: old stone and historic vineyard outside, contemporary design and comfort inside, with a warmly decorated lounge bar and an imposing hall. The outdoor areas — vast gardens, vineyards, and a lake — complete the picture.
If you ask us, there are estates that freeze in the past and estates that reinvent it. Bichinha is clearly the second kind.
We’re in the Alenquer region, in the heart of the winemaking landscape north of Lisbon — vineyards, gardens, and the quiet of the country, about forty-five minutes from the airport. It’s authentic countryside, with the privacy of a secluded property and the convenience of being close to the city.
The advantage for a destination wedding is exactly that: surrounded by nature and vines, but with Lisbon, the coast, and Sintra a short distance off for the guests to explore.
Anything the guests might want to do — Alenquer wine tasting, a day in Lisbon, the coast — is at hand. Arriving is easy. Leaving — we can’t quite guarantee that part.
Quinta da Bichinha is a countryside wedding that knows how to end in a party. The civil or symbolic ceremony takes place by the tranquil lake, with vineyards and green all around; the cocktail spreads across the gardens and the lounge bar; dinner settles in the imposing hall, and the night ends on the LED dance floor.
With eleven rooms on-site and fifteen more nearby, guests all stay close by — which makes the celebration a stay and lets you stretch the programme over more than one day. On a full-buyout basis, the whole estate is yours.
It’s a venue that combines rustic elegance with party energy — ideal for couples who want vines and gardens by day and serious dancing by night. And this is exactly where our experience comes in. The couple’s session moves by the tranquil lake, through the vineyards, and into the renovated cellars of an Alenquer wine estate. Pop the question. We handle the rest.
A wine estate with a hall, a lounge bar, and lodging is exactly the kind of space where our coordination turns the infrastructure into a seamless wedding for international guests, from the ceremony by the lake to the dance floor. We handle the design of the day in coordination with the estate team, the management of the twenty-six rooms — eleven on-site, fifteen around — and the transfers from Lisbon airport, about forty-five minutes away. And there’s the practical side: the civil-ceremony paperwork in Portuguese, the sound permits, and a programme of wine tasting, Lisbon, and the coast for the guests. From the first call to the last dance.
