ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS QUINTA DA AVESSADA: A FAMILY-OWNED WINE ESTATE
SALAMANCA: CITY OF GOLD
In the heart of the UNESCO-designated Alto Douro Wine Region, the family-owned wine estate of Quinta da Avessada offers an award-winning wine experience. Guided by your animated host, you’ll learn the winemaking process from planting to labeling. Afterwards, enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch paired with Port wine and the regional treasure, Moscatel de Favaios. In fact, it was the first farm in the region to plant the Moscatel Galego grape variety and to produce the Moscatel de Favaios.
Known as being one of the most stunning Renaissance cities in Europe, Salamanca was first founded in the pre-ancient Rome era in roughly the 2nd or 3rd century BC. Golden sandstone buildings which seem to glow gold, orange and pink as the sun sets earned this city the nickname La Dorada, or the Golden City. Rich in culture and history, Salamanca’s gorgeously preserved Old City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the heart of the Golden City is one of Spain’s most beautiful and celebrated plazas: the Plaza Mayor.
