Monção's Winery ("Adega Cooperativa de Monção, CRL.") was founded on the 11th of October, 1958 thanks to the initiative of 25 vine growers.

It is located in the middle of the delimited "Vinhos Verdes" region in the sub-region of Monção e Melgaço (north-western part of Portugal - boarder towns with Galicia, Spain) and the use of the term "Vinho Verde Alvarinho" was recognized and exclusively given to this region.
