50th Wedding Anniversary - The Ideal Gift!
BPM18,Oct 11, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our daughters surprised us with this event. It was a gift to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary: and they could not have chosen a more apt and romantic venue. They, of course, joined us. They wouldn’t want to miss this wonderful experience! Paulo and Gorete make a great team. Gorete cooked up some delicious local cuisine, whilst Paulo perfectly matched the food with his expertly chosen wines, all produced and fermented on site. Initially, Paulo introduced us to the actual vines and how they grow and harvest the grapes (I think that made me appreciate the wine even more!) The few hours we spent there were private and quiet and not what you may have experienced in commercial “days out” whereby the conclusion is a marketing exercise to purchase “The Product” There was none of this – no pressure at all, just a relaxing atmosphere in the Algarve countryside. As well as the traditional food and wine, Paulo has a good singing voice, so we also treated to some Portuguese “time-honoured” songs. I would highly recommend you take a visit if you are holidaying in the area.
Happy Van wine trip 😎

5.00We found our guide Paulo to be very informative and eager to share his knowledge on the wines of Portugal. We went to a small family run vineyard Odeluca River Valley. Paulo showed the vines and explained the different varieties of grapes been grown. We saw the wine cellars and the wine making process. Had some Tapas and wines to taste. Paulo makes the experience very enjoyable.
Wonderful wine tasting
