"From Algarve beaches to the breathtaking mountains of the north, Portugal is a land of contrasts. From north to south, from east to west, from mountain to maritime vineyards, hot and dry or cool and green. Portuguese wines are soulful and expressive." They will pair the Deolinda rhythms with the wines of Portugal.
