Vinhos Deluxe is a wine-estate strategy game. The box contains both the original Reserve 2010 and revised Special Vintage 2016 rulesets, so this guide focuses on their shared core structure and flags version-specific details.
Develop estates
Acquire vineyards in Portuguese regions and add wineries, cellars, enologists and farmers to improve production and quality.
Weather affects vintages
Each year’s weather modifies production quality, making the timing of vineyard investment and wine release important.
Produce wine
Your estates create wine with quality based on region, weather and estate improvements.
Sell or export
Wine can be sold for money, exported for longer-term value or reserved for competition and scoring.
Wine fairs
Players enter wines into fairs, use experts and pursue category prestige. Fair participation creates points and future advantages.
Experts and actions
Experts can improve action efficiency, fair performance and estate development.
Version choice
Before setup, confirm whether you are using Reserve 2010 or Special Vintage 2016. Their action/scoring details differ even though the shared estate-production concepts remain recognizable.
Game end
Resolve final scoring using the rulebook for the selected side, including estates, wine, exports, fairs and investments.
