Vila das Rainhas is a prestigious Portuguese liqueur brand specializing in Ginja, a traditional cherry liqueur. The brand originates from the historic medieval town of Óbidos, which is renowned for its cherry liqueur production. This specific product is a 'Licor de Ginja d'Óbidos', which holds a protected geographical status, ensuring that the sour cherries (ginjas) are harvested and the liqueur is produced within the specific region following traditional artisanal methods.

The production process involves macerating the sour cherries in alcohol for several months, often resulting in a rich, sweet, and slightly tart beverage favored as an aperitif or digestif. The brand is managed by Frutobidos, a family-run company that has significantly contributed to the commercialization and international recognition of this regional specialty. Today, it remains under Portuguese ownership, maintaining its heritage and strictly controlled manufacturing standards in Portugal.
