Join us for Quaranvino goes to Portugal on 6th & 20th March for a trip to the Alentejo in the South to the Douro Valley in the North to discover the diversity of Portuguese wines through its local varieties.

On Saturday 6th March, dinner will be hosted by Gabriela Fialha of Cartuxa, historic winery in the Alentejo region of Southern Portugal. Cartuxa is located in Evora, and was bought by a Jesuit rector at the city’s famous university in the 1700s. When the Jesuits were expelled, the winery was taken over by the state and was fitted with a wine press in 1776. Cartuxa farms both organically and conventionally and we will discover their organic, riserva and special Colheita lines during the evening, all made from grapes native to the region. 

On 20th March we’ll have dinner with Stephane Ferreira of Quinta do Popa in the Douro Valley. For many generations, Stephane’s family had spent time in the Douro but it was his father who bought the property in 2003. The first vintage was produced in 2007 and in 2010 Stephane and his sister Vanessa took over the management of the winery bringing a new approach to this very traditional area. Their white uncorked, black label red and Quinta do Popa Porto are great expressions of the tradition of the Douro region. 

Both dinners will be guest-moderated by Ana Monforte, Portuguese origin, citizen of the world born into a family of wine-makers. 

How it works:
