quinta da vida

Rooted in Nature.
Made for Connection.

Tucked among the vines in the heart of Palmela, Quinta da Vida is a living, breathing experience. A vineyard estate where nature, celebration, and craftsmanship come together. From soul-stirring gatherings to hands-on workshops and wines made on-site, every moment here is rooted in beauty, meaning, and connection.

THE VINEYARD

At our family-run Quinta, generations of passion and tradition flow through every vine.

Nestled amid the rolling hills of the Palmela Vinelands, our estate is a place where time slows, connections deepen, and nature speaks.
Each year, we craft just 150 bottles of this rare red – a true labour of love, nurtured by hand and shaped by the rhythms of the land.

Every sip carries the spirit of our family, the richness of our soil, and the warmth of the gatherings we cherish.

THIS IS MORE THAN WINE. IT’S OUR STORY, BOTTLED.

Quinta da Vida offers the kind of backdrop photographers dream of — golden light pouring over the vineyards, timeless architecture, curated interiors, and nature in every direction. Whether you’re shooting a brand campaign, editorial, or intimate portrait session, every corner of the estate tells a story. Inside, you’ll find warm textures and soulful details. Outside, wide-open fields, stone walls, and vineyard rows create pure visual poetry.

about us

Hi from the maruggi family.

We’re the Maruggi family — originally from South Africa, now rooted in the rolling hills of Palmela. Drawn by a dream and led by faith, we traded city life for slow mornings, vineyard sunsets, and the beauty of creating something from the ground up. With Italian roots in our DNA and a deep love for meaningful connection, we started Quinta da Vida as a place where people could gather, create, and simply breathe. What began as a quiet vision became a vibrant estate – a working vineyard, a space for soulful events, creative workshops, and unforgettable shoots. It’s more than a business to us. It’s our way of sharing life: the good wine, the real conversations, the joy of being together.
