A partnership between Quinta da Alameda and the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV) secures the future of cardoon research, promotes sustainability, and creates value for Portuguese agriculture.

Native to our region, the cardoon is a source of prosperity, innovation, biodiversity, and sustainability. These are compelling reasons for Quinta da Alameda to develop multiple projects centred on the cardoon.

The Casa Mãe (meaning 'Mother House') is the cornerstone of life at Quinta da Alameda. Reborn with elegance and purpose, its rehabilitation bears the signature of renowned architect Carvalho Araújo.
