Music and Wine at the Interactive Museum House in Borba

The Casa Museu Interativa de Borba opens its cellar doors again and invites visitors to join in for a Wine Sunset on the patio. On the 23rd of September, from 18:30h, the music will be in charge of Victor Norways, with many wines and snacks to complement.

At a time when interest in wine is growing, this space expands visitors’ knowledge through its museum. There we get to know objects that were used for wine production, as well as iterative devices that portray the history of Vinho em Talha and the Rézio Family, owner of the space.

The production of wine in carvings is ancestral, dating back to Roman times, something that the Alentejo has never lost. Along the route in this museum, younger people also have access to interactive games that, in a playful way, expand their knowledge about this tradition. At the end of the visit there is a courtyard, where musical moments of conviviality are usually organized among wine lovers, where everyone can enjoy the typical flavors and aromas of the region.

According to the owners, the house dating from the 19th century came into the hands of the grandfather in 1936 and, since then, the house has remained in the family, being the scene of very happy family moments. On the ground floor, the cellar has 46 original clay pots, the courtyard, an old stable, well and on the upper floor the housing part. In the past, wine, vinegar and brandy were made here, and production continued until 1957, when Adega Cooperativa de Borba started operating. «This is a house with a past, but to which the Rézio Family wanted to give a future, a future with history that only gains the dimension it deserves when and if shared with everyone!» say the current owners.
