Adega is Ericeira's best wine bar - a cozy, intimate space tucked into the old town that feels like drinking in someone's very well-stocked living room. If your ideal evening involves a great glass of wine and good conversation rather than loud music and cocktails, this is your place.
The wine selection is excellent and leans heavily into Portuguese producers. Wines by the glass change regularly and cover the range from crisp Alvarinhos and Vinho Verde to robust Alentejo reds and aged Dão wines. The staff know their list and will guide you to something good.
Petiscos (Portuguese tapas) accompany the wine - cheeses, cured meats, olives, and small plates that are designed to pair with whatever you're drinking. Simple food, done right.
The interior is warm and dimly lit - exposed stone, wooden furniture, candles. It seats maybe 25-30 people, which means it feels full and atmospheric even on a quiet Tuesday. In summer, a small terrace adds a few more spots.
Adega is the perfect pre-dinner spot or the ideal place for a quieter evening that doesn't involve a dance floor. It also works well as a late-night wind-down after dinner elsewhere - settle in with a glass of port or a glass of red and let the evening end gently.
Best for: Wine lovers, couples, quieter evenings
