This house with a warehouse and wine presses was built in 1923 with the purpose of being a residence. It was restored in the 1990s with the aim of revitalizing wine production. During this process, the wine presses were reused, and a patented mechanical treadling robot was developed, pioneering in the Douro Region and throughout Portugal. This family property maintains traditional winemaking methods, ensuring competitiveness while preserving unique characteristics.

In 2003, the museological space of the Casa dos Lagares was established, bringing together a collection of instruments, tools, and documents that illustrate the journey of several generations of a family from the Douro. Throughout its history, there has always been a commitment to the protection, maintenance, and use of authentic settings that reflect a way of life. These spaces now aim to become venues for culture and leisure.

The Casa Vilela is a living house with a wine warehouse, a woodshed and a backyard, located at the center of Cheires.

The growth of viticulture in the eighteenth century, and the demarcations of the region, rose the interest of investors, thus leading to the construction of big houses for their seasonal or permanent residence.

This was the case of the Casa Vilela, which was built in the late eighteenth century by a family from Vila Real, during the absolutist regime. The house was later purchased by the family Vilela de Morais.

The farm house is the main building of the rural heritage and is still currently the family house. This architectural ensemble includes a chapel, a cottage, a wine warehouse and mill, a woodshed, and an outbuilding. It is surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, thus creating a unique setting.

This house establishes the foundation of the primogeniture in the seventeenth century and the first Cheires settlement.

Comprising about seven hectares of vineyard and olive grove, the property includes an old farmhouse and wine presses. It is located approximately two kilometers from the main house.
