Talha à Mesa | March 23rd to 24th

It is the first edition of a Talha gastronomy and wine event that will take place on the 23rd and 24th of March, at Adega de Vidigueira, Cuba e Alvito, located in Vidigueira, Alentejo. Talha Wine is increasingly present on restaurant menus and chefs are experimenting to find dishes that harmonize with these new aromas and flavors characteristic of a good Talha Wine.

Following the approval of the application by the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage for registration in the National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage (INPCI) of Talha Wine Production, a process characteristic of the Alentejo, Adega Cooperativa believes that it is time to elevate the role of Talha wine in Portuguese gastronomy and positioning it in a premium segment and as a wine par excellence for pairing with food.

There will be wine meals: Exclusive lunches and dinners, prepared by guest chefs (José Júlio Vintém, João Mourato and Pedro Mendes), paired with Talha wines; Talha Wine Masterclass: A special and very restricted tasting where different styles of Talha wine will be tasted, combined with a little history and sharing this ancient art; Showcookings in the Vine: Combining a culinary demonstration with pairing with carved wines, in the unique environment of a century-old vineyard in the region; and Copo das 5: a moment dedicated to snacks and Talha wine, which includes the service of a selection of traditional snacks with Talha wine to accompany. In addition, a Talha Wine Bar, a display of Talha wines, from different producers, where visitors can taste and discover different wine houses and profiles.
