Building The Team

Yesterday we were OOO and spent the day exploring the coast and countryside of Serra da Arrábida Natural Park.

We started the day with a guided hike with the most gorgeus sea views, then visited a fabulous palatial house from the 19th century and finished with a homecooked lunch in the porch of a picturesque family owned estate.

At the end of the day, it's true that we are lucky to have such a special place a stone throw's away from Lisbon, but even luckier to have such special people to spend the day with!

🍇 Unveiling Algarve's Winemaking Heritage 🍷

Despite not being the first winemaking region that comes to mind when thinking about Portugal, Algarve holds a treasure trove of vinicultural delights. From centuries-old estates to bold, innovative projects, the region's winemaking scene is flourishing, giving rise to a diverse array of captivating wines.

At the heart of Algarve's winemaking legacy lies the distinctive grape variety, negra mole. Indigenous to the region, this grape lends a distinct character to the wines, with its nuanced flavors and remarkable adaptability to the local terroir. Through meticulous craftsmanship and respect for tradition, visionary producers are redefining perceptions and elevating Algarve wines to new heights.

There’s no better way to understand the local winemaking culture than visiting a local estate and witnessing the process from the vineyard to the bottle. To do so, you can do a guided visit to the vineyards and a comprehensive tasting, enjoy a homecooked meal with wine pairing to understand the different profiles and how they can be elevated, or even embark on an exclusive workshop with the winemaker to create your own blend.

Let’s raise a glass to Algarve's winemaking heritage - to the visionaries, the pioneers, and the guardians of tradition, who continue to shape the soul of Algarve through the magic of wine! ✨

There are two distinct Algarves within the region - one located to the West and another to the East.

On the West side you’ll find small sheltered beaches, tall golden cliffs with spectacular grottoes, and a calm and crystal-clear ocean. There are many great coastal resorts and restaurants to choose from and you'll feel a lively beach vibe. In the southwest tip you'll find a portion of Costa Vicentina Natural Park, a protected area that comprises wild beaches and great waves for surfing.

To the East the offer is quite distinct and there’s a whole other region to discover, which is quieter and more genuine. There are beautiful beaches with long stretches of sand and wild dunes, many of which are only accessible by boat. It is where Ria Formosa Natural Park can be found, a protected reserve which is made of small islands that separate the shore from the open seas. In this part of the region you will find charming boutique hotels and the atmosphere is more laidback, familiar and rustic, without compromising comfort and with an unparalleled attention to detail.

The boats are carefully decorated and depart towards the Fort of Ínsua to collect the image of Senhora da Ínsua.
🍊 Romaria a Cavalo: This unique celebration attracts hundreds of worshipers who depart from Moita towards the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora D’Aires, in Viana do Alentejo. It’s a 150 km Pilgrimage on Horseback that takes 4 days to complete.
🍊 Festa de São João, Porto: Experience the magic of midsummer with lively processions, hot air baloons in the sky, bonfires, and the tradition of hitting each other with plastic hammers…
🍊 Festa dos Tabuleiros, Tomar: This festival is an ancient tradition held every 4 years, during which the local population parades in pairs with the girls carrying tabuleiros on their heads. The tabuleiro is made of 30 stacked pieces of bread, decorated with flowers and crowned with the cross of the Order of Christ.
