Quinta do Lago || September 6 and 7 will see a celebration of the wines from one of Chile’s best producers taking place in the Algarve.
Winemaker Brett Jackson is being flown in especially from Chile along with the winery’s export director Michael Goldner for a weekend of tastings, golf and great food that wine lovers in the Algarve are welcome to join in.
Organised by local distributor Prime Wines, the first event is the Valdivieso Laranjal Golf & Wine Challenge being held on Quinta do Lago’s Laranjal course on the 6th. Prizes include 3-litre bottles of some fine vintages from Valdivieso. A dinner and prize giving will take place at The Shack and the cost is €99 for golf and dinner or €45 for dinner only including pairing of six top wines from the producer.
On Sunday, a more structured tasting will take place at Aquarelle Restaurant in Almancil featuring 10 wines and a degustation menu priced at €55 per person.
Brett Jackson and Michael Goldner will be present throughout the weekend sharing their knowledge with guests. The wines of Valdivieso have achieved quite some success here in the Algarve, especially in the Golden Triangle area where they are stocked at many of the best restaurants. A selection of the wines can be found at Apolónia Supermarkets in Almancil and Galé. Patrick Stuart
