Green is the color that stands out over the vast landscape going between the Douro River and the river Minho, especially due to the moist microclimate which gives to this region the perfect conditions for growing several varieties of green wine, including the famous Alvarinho from the Monção and Melgaço’s region.
We will discover how the grapes cultivation and processing techniques produce the unique nectar known as Vinho Verde and we’ll see the Alvarinho Solar in the hilly Melgaço town, a town bathed by the river Minho. After a gastronomic lunch with a wide variety of products from the region, we will visit Monção where we can contemplate its military fortress and its beautiful Romanesque churches. Before returning to Oporto, we will visit an Alvarinho wine producer and we will taste and enjoy this particular tart wine region.
