Sustainability

AT THE PACE OF NATURE

At Entre Vinhas & Mar we care about the environment!

Thinking about the environment...

To ensure the future of the next generations, it is necessary to preserve the environment with responsible attitudes.
At Entre Vinhas & Mar we support sustainable practices!

The Entre Vinhas & Mar project emerged as a tribute to the family, in a way of honouring and continue the ancestral agricultural heritage, through a path of specialisation and sustainable innovation. For that reason, our vineyards are being prepared to produce wine, this time, organic. The concept of sustainability occurred naturally in the project due to the idea and practice of reutilisation in its different aspects.

We resort to composting for sustenance, using our products (strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, etc.) in the meals served to guests and materializing the concept “from the farm to the table”, in a desire to value the land and enjoy the best it has to offer.

Guided by environmental sustainability, at Entre Vinhas & Mar we pursue ethical consumption, aware of our social responsibility. Thus, we promote healthy and sustainable mobility, providing, for example, the rental of electric bicycles, as well as outdoor parking for them. We work in partnership with local producers, we follow a sustainable purchasing policy, buying in bulk what we need, we hire local people, we offer healthy menus and we encourage the use of fresh, healthy and organic foods on our menus.

Corroborating all these aspects, we have the certificate Biosphere Sustainable Lifestyle.

There is, therefore, a whole dynamic around the genetic preservation of crops, by the sustainable use of the soil, working on food security and sustainability, promoting biodiversity and quality of life.

However, the sustainable dream doesn't end here. This project aims to continuously seek to adopt and improve sustainable practices, by always privileging the client's experience, in which you can breathe and feel the pace of nature in a primordial and genuine space, combining simplicity and the comfort of hospitality.

From the encounter with the space where countless wooden vine sticks were stored, we reused them for the construction of outdoor flower boxes and for the construction of pieces of furniture, present in various areas of our enterprise. Alongside these pieces, others belonging to the family were incorporated into the same space.
The commitment to a sustainable model is conscious and its growth is organic. From the organic garden we harvest aromatic herbs, such as lemon verbena, mint, rosemary and thyme. Sometimes to season the dish, sometimes to make infusions!

But there is much more to this environmentally friendly journey. The separation of garbage, the reuse of packaging for garbage cans, the construction of the greenhouse with used plastic bottles, the use of water filters accessible to all guests replacing disposable bottles, the existence of a pond, and solar panels are all actions in line with the goal of making the project even more sustainable.

We are aware that the products served at the table are the mirror of this attitude and practices. At Entre Vinhas & Mar we have sought not only to preserve what the land offers as autochthonous, but also to recover some foods, through seeds, as in the case of barbel wheat. These seeds, now cultivated again, are used to make bread.
