Summary: The woman who welcomed us took us on a very nice winery tour, explained the history of the cellar and specifically the tradition of vinho da talha. It was very interesting and informative not only on the wine tradition but also on other food, drinks and cultural traditions of Alentejo. The passion and the knowledge she shared made the experience even more special. The wine tasting was superb, the quality of the wines and local products was outstanding. After the wine tasting, we stopped for lunch at the restaurant ‘País das Uvas’ owned by the same family of the winery and it was superb! Highly recommended as well!
