Uniqueness
A four-storey stone tower stands twelve metres high at the heart of the Casa de Gomariz. D. Pedro da Cunha built it at the end of the 15th century. Cannon-shaped and zoomorphic gargoyles line its crenellated balcony, echoing details found on the Cathedral of Braga and the collegiate tower of Guimaraes. A baroque chapel with a single nave sits beside it. Vineyards and forest wrap the estate on all sides.
The property traces its roots to the 13th century, when the Canon of the Cathedral of Braga lived here. The current owners' family acquired it in the early 20th century. Today the estate holds a wine bar in the tower, Restaurante Gomariz, the Camellia Spa overlooking the vines, and Casas da Mata, forest lodges built for privacy and stillness. Everything stays within one continuous landscape of stone, vine, and woodland.

Gastronomy
Restaurante Gomariz calls its approach a Kitchen of Memories and innovation. Childhood flavours shape the menu. Fresh ingredients from the Minho interior and the Atlantic coast arrive daily, then meet contemporary technique on the plate. The focus stays on taste above all else.
Tasting menus are available each evening from 7:30 to 10:30 PM. Booking is required. The Tower Wine Bar opens from 11:00 AM, pouring estate wines and cocktails through the afternoon. From June through September, picnic service moves the kitchen outdoors, spreading across the vineyard grounds.

Sustainability at Torre de Gomariz Wine & Spa Hotel
The Casa de Gomariz has survived seven centuries through continuous stewardship by successive families. The current owners maintain the medieval tower, baroque chapel, and farmhouse buildings as living architecture rather than museum pieces. Preservation of the estate's forests and vineyards keeps the surrounding landscape intact.
The property's working vineyards and kitchen sourcing from nearby Minho farms and the Atlantic coast reduce supply distances. Forest areas around the Casas da Mata remain undeveloped, preserving biodiversity within the estate grounds.
