2019 Adegga Summer Festival @Carcavelos: Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June





For the first time the Adegga Summer Festival will be held outside Lisbon, itself. Instead it will be at Carcavelos, a beach resort a little to the west of Lisbon down the Tagus. It will be held at the Nova School of Business and Economics, Rua Holanda n.1, 2775-405 Carcavelos, Portugal. 

400 wines from 40 Portuguese producers with prices ranging from 5€ to 50€. Saturday 29th from 15.00 to 22.00 and Sunday from 15.00 to 20.00. Carcavelos is on the railway line from the Cais do Sodre station in Lisbon to Cascais with regular service. There will also be a shuttle service from the Miradouro do Parque Eduardo VII to the event venue.  

This is a great chance to taste some of the best Portuguese wines as well as meet the people who make them.

Sadly we are unable to make it this year as will be in the Loire for a conference on Côt at Amboise, followed by the Paulée d'Anjou and the Chenin Blanc Conference in Angers.
