It’s the Alentejo wine wedding with the refinement of a landmark hotel.
For couples who want a wine-and-discreet-luxury wedding in the Alentejo, this is the spot. If you ask us, it’s the right address for those who take wine seriously.
Quinta do Paral is a wine hotel with rooms, so the group stays at the estate itself. Mary Me coordinates the allocation between the wedding party, family, and VIPs, with the multi-day programme and transfers from Lisbon airport handled.
Quinta do Paral was born from a dream and the choice of Vidigueira — a land of vine and light — to make history. The project crossed fifty-six hectares of vineyard, thirteen of them old vines, with the recovery of the grape varieties and practices that define the Alentejo: Antao Vaz and Perrum in the whites, and talha wine, fermented in clay amphorae, a heritage that in Vidigueira reaches back to Roman times.
Around the wine grew an author-led wine hotel, today a member of the Leading Hotels of the World and awarded two Michelin Keys, with its own restaurant and singular olive oils from the estate’s groves. It’s wine heritage in the service of hospitality.
If you ask us, there are estates that only make wine and estates that make a destination. Quinta do Paral is clearly the second kind.
We’re in Vidigueira, in the Baixo Alentejo — among vineyards, olive groves, and the golden plain, about an hour and fifty from Lisbon airport. It’s Alentejo wine country at its most authentic, of unmistakable light and slow pace.
The advantage for a destination wedding is the combination of authenticity and refinement: the Alentejo is genuine and quiet, but the comfort, the table, and the service are those of a landmark hotel — with Evora and the region’s culinary richness nearby for the guests.
Anything the guests might want to do — wine tasting, the plain, Evora, and the history of Vidigueira — is at hand. Arriving is easy. Leaving — we can’t quite guarantee that part.
Quinta do Paral is a wine-and-discreet-luxury wedding. The civil, symbolic, or religious ceremony takes place among the vineyards, with the plain behind; the cocktail spreads with a tasting of the house wines, including the talha wine; dinner settles at The Wine Restaurant or in an outdoor structure, with the hotel’s kitchen leading; and the party runs on under the Alentejo sky.
As a wine hotel, it offers rooms for the group and the infrastructure of top-tier hospitality — Leading Hotels of the World, two Michelin Keys — with the vineyards, the winery, and the olive oils giving a rich programme for the guests. It’s Alentejo authenticity without losing the refinement.
It’s a venue that favours wine, history, and excellent service over spectacle — ideal for couples who want a landmark wine hotel in the Alentejo. And this is exactly where our experience comes in. The couple’s session winds through the fifty-six hectares of vineyard, the old vines, the winery, and the golden Vidigueira plain at sunset. Pop the question. We handle the rest.
A wine hotel in the Baixo Alentejo, almost two hours from Lisbon, is exactly where our coordination makes the difference, especially in designing a multi-day wedding and arranging the logistics for international guests.

And there’s the practical side: the civil-ceremony paperwork in Portuguese, the sound permits, and a programme of wine tasting, talha wine, Evora, and Vidigueira for the guests. From the first call to the last dance.
