Tastings & workshops at Esporão No Porto

Located at Rua do Almada 501, Esporão No Porto has just launched its Program for tastings and workshops between January and March. Subject to reservations by telephone or e-mail, there will also be some special tastings and workshops with a unique character, such as talks about olive oil with Esporão’s olive oil maker Ana Carrilho, which will include the participation of producers from Trás-os-Montes and Alentejo.

From Tuesday to Saturday, several tastings will be offered before lunch time or in the afternoon: Amphora wines, Loureiro grape variety, Reds and Whites with notes of Wood, Quinta dos Murças Terroirs, and others. For olive oil lovers, we will also offer Esporão olive oil tastings, while beer lovers can taste Sovina Lager, Amber and IPA.

At Esporão No Porto, guests can enjoy an exclusive menu inspired by traditional Portuguese cuisine, coordinated by chef Carlos de Albuquerque. The products, the region and the season are the key elements in a menu comprised of uncomplicated and authentic dishes, ideal to enjoy with Esporão wines, olive oils and beers. A snack menu is available every afternoon and the shop offers iconic Esporão products to take home.
