Sapateiro Boutique Winery | Wine Tastings & Wines near Porto

From Shoemaker to Winemaker

Discover a family legacy, handcrafted wines and unforgettable moments at our boutique winery.

Our story

A shoemaker’s passion, a family’s legacy

It began with António Soares, who sold shoes in his own shop. He planted a small parcel of vines on the family farm and made wine to share with his loved ones. When customers from his shoe shop began asking to take a bottle home, a simple family tradition grew into something more. Little by little, António spent less time selling shoes and more time among the vines.

Today, that legacy lives on through Tiago Soares, who crafts boutique wines on the family’s five-hectare estate in Tabuado, in Portugal’s Vinho Verde region. Working with hand-picked native grape varieties, each wine reflects a connection to the land, a respect for craftsmanship and a family tradition that continues to evolve.

Every bottle is individually numbered. Every wine carries a piece of our story.

What our guests say

Wine tastings

This was an incredible experience, unlike any tasting I’ve tried before. Visiting Sapateiro winery feels like coming home. A family run, boutique winery, with a meticulous passion for the art of winemaking. Lovely origin story, too, with rich history and charm.

Christina HarrisWine tasting

Beautiful experience to learn how wine is made in a small family business. The house and views are ideal and Thiago explained us every detail we wanted. I also recommend to add the cheese plate which includes local products. The wines are special and full of interesting flavors.
