Chã Vinho do Fogo

Cabo Verde


Located a few kilometres outside the village of Chã das Caldeiras (en route to São Filipe), this state-of-the-art winery is a recent rebuild of the original, which was destroyed by the eruption of 2014–15. Vines are actually grown in the volcanic ash of the crater. Stop in for tastings. There's also a new guesthouse here.
