Portugal Vineyards Concept Store, When Architecture Meets Wine ♦ The Portugal Vineyards wine concept store is the first physical store for the online wine specialist company. Located adjacent to the company’s headquarters, facing the street and occupying 90m2, the store consists of an open-plan devoid of partitions. Secrets From Portugal is thrilled to let you know all about Portugal Vineyards’ store, where space inside is blindingly white, minimal and circular.

The displays are carved out of the walls in reference to the vineyard terraces in a circular shape that fills the customer´s field of view sensitively with indirect lighting and the sharp contrast between the product and space.
This luminance creates the perfect background for the experience of observing the diversity the wine represents and a chance to take the design back to its core in a chance to start something new. In this project, we planned to celebrate the wine bottle, its shape and the brightness of its coloured glass without lies – an interior using a simple form and the purest and neutral colour.
The visitor´s experience begins with the perception of the curved walls and a circular path that surrounds one soon after entering the interior. The approach was to focus on creating a space that could emerge from the access points and develop a feeling of inner space defined by the three wine terraces that exhibit one of a most extended collection of Portuguese wine.
The wine terraces counters provide our client with the flexibility to organize the theme display and adjust these groups to suit market trends and seasons; to the visitor allows a 360º view of the store and a quick perception of the wine range.
Without affecting these premises, an online counter space has been added, allowing a virtual tour of the warehouse, where the most and least known Portuguese wines are found, and a wine-tasting zone where the traditional wood barrels are integrated into the concept has bar tables to complete the experience of the visit to this store.
