European Terroir Wine Festival: Belém – Friday 3rd/ Saturday 4th July



Vinho ao Vivo


Report from a warm Lisbon evening:
Hardly had I settled in early this afternoon than I had a message from Pedro Marques - Vale da Capucha inviting me to the sixth edition of Vinho ao Vivo on this coming Friday and Saturday – 3rd and 4th July. This wine festival is held at the Restaurant Á Margem, Belém, Lisbon. This restaurant, right on the Tagus, is between the memorial to Vasco da Gama and the delightful, bijou Torre de Belém. It should be a stunning occasion with wine and music as the forecast is good but not too hot. Any #winelovers coming for the Adegga fair on Saturday, Vinho ao Vivo allows you to get a double dose of tasting in!

I have to confess that this is the first I have heard of this festival but am looking forward to going on Friday as Saturday will be reserved for the Summer edition of the Adegga wine fair in the centre of Lisbon.
