Vinhos do Alentejo and Casa do Azeite proudly present: Two wine masterclass sessions!

Sarah Ahmed, expert on Portuguese wines – www.thewinedetective.co.uk– presents selected PGI and PDO wines from the Alentejo region and will take you on a journey of discovery across time and space. You will taste grape varieties old and new, ranging from wines made in Talha (the amphoras that were introduced to the Alentejo in Roman times), or foot-trodden in marble lagares, through to wines aged in the finest French oak. We shall travel from Portalegre, in the Alentejo’s green and mountainous north, to the dusty rolling plains of Beja in the south.

Diversity is the watchword. You’ll be fascinated with selected PGI and PDO wines made from indigenous grape varieties, extra virgin Portuguese olive oils – presented by Teresa Zacarias from Casa do Azeite – and the Mediterranean snacks (petiscos) served by Nuno Mendes and his team at Taberna do Mercado.
