Article in "Wine a Day" Blog

Christopher Metcalfe recently published an article about Quinta dos
Vales on his blog "Wine a Day".
We like to keep you updated and offer you a short excerpt of the text
here as well as a link to the complete article.

"... I was able to get down to the Algarve for a little break recently.
Here I visited the Quinta dos Vales winery once again to try some of the
latest wines. It was quite pleasant there with the temperature in the
low 20's (centigrade), which is very acceptable to me in mid November.
Although it is pretty quite in the Algarve at this time of year, it is a
good chance to get a cheap hotel room and see the towns as fishing
villages rather than tourist resorts. ..."

S. Martin's at Hotel Faro

On S. Martin's day by invitation of the restaurant Hotel Faro and in partnership with Quinta dos Vales a lunch was served prepared by Chef Alberto with chestnut as the centrepiece and accompanied by the wines of Quinta dos Vales.

Around 70 people enjoyed a well prepared lunch "around the chestnut" in which the wines of Quinta dos Vales proved excellent companions. Amongst the participants were some well-known personalities of the institutions of the regional administration of the Algarve and Faro, including Paulo dos Santos Neves (former President of Região de Turismo do Algarve) e Carlos Cruz (of CCDR Algarve). The participants were very pleased not only with the stunning view over the Ria Formosa of this special location, but also with the delicacies and the excellent matching Algarve wines. Certainly it will not be the last theme lunch to take place, where the future holds many surprising events revolving around good food and wine, where art will surely not be lacking.
