The Distillery
Medronho brandies produced in the museum's distillery are on sale at the store year-round. You can, however, taste them and certify the quality of the spirits before buying it.
The Brandy
The museum has a permanent exhibition that aims to make the Medronho known: A characterization of the plant and the fruit, its life cycle, economic and ecological value and forestry that will end in the process of distilling the fruit and its product - the well-known arbutus brandy
The Exposure
With scheduled visits and during the fruit ripening season, it is possible to monitor and watch the various stages of the production of the distillate: from picking the fruit, to fermentation, distillation and bottling.

A Safari
in the Wild
The Medronho Museum in Alqueva, a mandatory stop in the region.
For lovers of typically Portuguese drinks based on the arbutus fruit and wildlife enthusiasts, this will undoubtedly be a place to be taken into account. Here you will have the opportunity to go on a safari through the cork oak forest, among various wild species, but also get to know a little more about this small reddish fruit, which will be presented to you from several different species.
I would like to thank you for your speed and professionalism! I placed an order on Sunday and with a holiday in the middle I received the order on Tuesday (today)! After visiting your museum 2 years ago we became fans! We've been trying to pay you a visit again but it's been a very complicated 2 years... We hope to return soon! Thank you very much!
