The Festival of Vine and Wine is back to the Alentejo village of Borba. The event, which runs from 10 to 18 November, includes several thematic fairs, gastronomy, colloquiums, music shows, and the possibility of tasting more than 150 wine brands.
There will be eight days of animation, with special emphasis on musical shows. There will be shows by the Irmãos Verdade (10th), Canta Brasil (17th), Emanuel (18th), among many others.
Borba grew with the wine and this gave the nickname for the highest moment of celebration in the county. For 25 years we have been celebrating the Vine and Wine Festival in Borba, bringing hundreds of visitors to our city during the nine days of the event.
