A wedding in Alentejo with the scent of the countryside accompanied by Torre de Palma wines amidst nature—this and much more make this location one of my favorites for getting married.

And that's why I invite you on a journey to Torre de Palma to also discover, why Torre de Palma is one of the best places to get married in Alentejo.

1. Besides the vineyards, Alentejo landscapes, horses, and organic gardens, what makes Torre de Palma an ideal location for a wedding in nature?

Torre de Palma is defined as a hidden gem in genuine Alentejo. It is a historic property with unique beauty in the Alto Alentejo region. It stands out for its 360º view of the Alentejo plain that can be seen from the Tower that gives the property its name. Many say that here you can experience the best sunset in Alentejo.

1. For those looking to get married in Alentejo, what gastronomic options does Torre de Palma offer? Knowing that couples also love Alentejo for its traditional dishes, not to mention the magnificent Alentejo wines.

All catering is exclusive to Torre de Palma, with all menus crafted by Chef Miguel Laffan. Our Chef brings the best of Portuguese cuisine to our guests, harmonizing with Torre de Palma wines. We work with regional products through partnerships with small, high-quality producers.

1. For small weddings, does Torre de Palma offer accommodation for all wedding guests so they can enjoy, for example, a family weekend?

Of course, Torre de Palma has 19 rooms of different types, accommodating up to 50 people. For larger weddings, we provide the couple with a list of nearby accommodations and hotels to house their guests.

1. For a destination wedding looking to take place outdoors in the midst of nature, from how many guests does Torre de Palma accept small weddings?

This is a frequently asked question. We do not have a minimum number of guests; just this year, 2024, we hosted an elopement for 2 people. However, we can accommodate weddings of up to 350 people.

1. What spaces does Torre de Palma offer for a wedding? Can the couple choose a specific location?

The property spans about 14 hectares, and since the space is exclusively for the wedding, the couple can choose from various venues. The ceremony can be held in the chapel, the main courtyard, the olive grove, the pine forest, or the vineyard. Dinner can be held among the vines, under ancient olive trees, in the back courtyard with or without a tent, or even at the top of the tower. One of the benefits of having a large property is the ability to offer completely different spaces for various moments of a 2 or 3-day event.

1. For those envisioning a wedding in nature with comfort and elegance, Torre de Palma is undoubtedly the perfect place. What should couples do first to plan a wedding at Torre de Palma?

We usually say the earlier, the better! However, our team is extraordinarily adaptable and we have successfully organized several "last-minute" events. As long as we have date availability and all conditions are met, we can host all types of events.

1. Can couples include a Torre de Palma wine tasting in their wedding cocktail?

Yes, in addition to wine tastings for guests, couples can also enjoy a wide range of activities such as hot air balloon rides, horseback riding, massages, and yoga classes.

1. Besides the Alentejo landscape, olive groves, and the architecture of the space, Torre de Palma also has a beautiful chapel. Can couples who choose a religious ceremony have it in your chapel?
