What to expect
- An experience made up of landscapes, wine and music - it begins with a panoramic drive "From the Centre to the Atlantic" aboard a classic VW from the 60s/70s. Between historic streets, the banks of the Douro and viewpoints with unforgettable views, the day is set to end in style in Vila Nova de Gaia.
- At the Fonseca cellars, centuries of tradition and sustainability set the tone. The guided tour takes you through the secrets behind iconic wines, ending with a commented tasting of references such as Fonseca Siroco and Fonseca Bin 27.
- Then the evening turns into a thrill with an intimate Fado show in the unique setting of the cellars, among barrels and aromas of wine. Here, the Portuguese voice and guitar combine with the wine to create a deeply Portuguese moment.
- Those who want to extend the experience can opt to add dinner on the elegant T&C Terrace, with a three-course menu inspired by traditional cuisine and prepared to harmonise with Fonseca wines. And to round off the evening, you can top it off with a dessert accompanied by a Fonseca Tawny 10 year old - a perfect ending that links music, wine and gastronomy.
