A shoemaker’s passion, a family’s legacy

Our story

A shoemaker’s passion, a family’s legacy

It began with António Soares, who sold shoes in his own shop. He planted a small parcel of vines on the family farm and made wine to share with his loved ones. When customers from his shoe shop began asking to take a bottle home, a simple family tradition grew into something more. Little by little, António spent less time selling shoes and more time among the vines.

Today, that legacy lives on through Tiago Soares, who crafts boutique wines on the family’s five-hectare estate in Tabuado, in Portugal’s Vinho Verde region. Working with hand-picked native grape varieties, each wine reflects a connection to the land, a respect for craftsmanship and a family tradition that continues to evolve.

Every bottle is individually numbered. Every wine carries a piece of our story.

What our guests say

  • Wine tastings

    This was an incredible experience, unlike any tasting I’ve tried before. Visiting Sapateiro winery feels like coming home. A family run, boutique winery, with a meticulous passion for the art of winemaking. Lovely origin story, too, with rich history and charm.
