Quinta Vale Benfeito is located in a south-facing valley, with privileged sun exposure and sheltered from northern winds, in an area with a landscape of rare beauty – perhaps one of the most beautiful – where the emblematic Quintas de Alenquer are located. Quinta Vale Benfeito is located in the Lisbon wine region, Alenquer sub-region, one of the most productive in Portugal, a stone's throw from the sea and the Montejunto-Serra da Estrela mountain range.
