INTRODUCTION

A HIDDEN GEM OF NATURAL BEAUTY

Portugal’s geographic diversity has given rise to a variety of distinct regions each with their own character and identity. This is a country full of wonders — charming castles, pristine beaches, and a metropolitan capital spattered in remnants of the past. Its buildings are covered in thousands of intricately decorated tiles in countless colors and patterns.

The best Port is like a message in a bottle. Some spiced, floral, caramelised notes from history, and a fleeting taste of a time gone by.
