Casa Lata offers a distinctive and inviting accommodation experience with its main house boasting 14 bedrooms, and a second charming house “Casa do Garrafas” resulting in an overall capacity for 36 guests. Casa da Lata has always been linked to the production of Vinho Verde (green wine). Today, it is José Costa and his daughter Margarida who bring this family business to life. The genesis of Casa Lata is intertwined with the restoration of the property that once belonged to their uncles, the Pereira Lata family. In a heartfelt tribute, José and Margarida dedicate this project to the memory of their ancestors, aiming to preserve and celebrate the rich history of the Pereira Lata lineage.
It has the history of a Minho farmhouse where its people were dedicated to agriculture, livestock, vines and wine. The physical remnants of this heritage endure in the form of the granary, wine press, alembic, and an array of agricultural tools that still grace the landscape. These artefacts serve as poignant landmarks, immortalising the activities that once defined life on the farm. The decoration and furnishings are in keeping with the atmosphere of yesteryear, now adapted into a games room and bar, where you can still see a stone wine press once used to make wine. In this traditional environment, there is now a modern winery where Terras de Amares wines are produced, from the indigenous grape varieties of the Vinho Verde region, between the Cávado River and the Homem River.
