Fall 2016 Portugal for the Palate Food and Wine Tour
In 2016, Portugal was labeled Europe's Best-Kept Foodie Secret. Recently, my favorite wine region, O Alentejo, was named The New Tuscany. This once off the beaten path country is making big waves in the international food and wine scene.....and Immersa Global is happy to be in on the action!
We hope you enjoy browsing through the pictures from our most recent Fall 2016 Portugal for the Palate journeys. As we traveled around the country, we had the opportunity to meet the best local winemakers, chefs and other culinary professionals while (re)learning the art of slow living.
If you're inspired, consider joining us on a future trip where you'll quickly learn the true meaning of "fazer da vida uma festa!" (Make life a party!)
Um abraço, Sheree Mitchell
