The Wines of Alentejo will be exclusive partners of this fair, where there will be about 20 participating venues of Minas Gerais gastronomy in this monthly edition of "Feirinha Aproxima", and each producer will also have space for sale / promotion of their wines.

There will also be a dynamization in the amphitheater of the Market, a set of activities related to the Alentejo Wines - lectures and thematic events, counting on the presence of wines from the region and with the guidance of wine and gastronomy critics Alexandre Lalas, Miguel Icassatti and Eduardo Maya.
