Two thousand years ago the Romans were already making wine in this corner of the Alentejo. We follow their road south — to the ruins of São Cucufate, a tiny family cellar still pressing wine into clay amphorae the old way, and a river beach almost no one knows. The slowest day in our catalogue. The most surprising.
What you'll actually do
- São Cucufate Roman archaeological site
- Family-run winery using Roman-style clay vessels
- Multiple talha wines and traditional winery lunch
- Talha Wine Interpretation Center
- Private local host, transport and bottled water
