<\/a><\/p>\nAdegamae is owned by a company famous for their cod.\u00a0 Cod didn’t fully pay for the new winery though.\u00a0 The tour guide told me they received a large amount of money from the European Union, 60% of the total cost of the winery, since it brings jobs and prosperity to the region.<\/p>\n So after consulting with our partners on this tour, Julia and her +1 (Jules), we asked Joao (I could not pronounce his name and took to calling him J-wow….not sure how he felt about that) if we could hit another winery.\u00a0 He said, well, we’ll have to have lunch at this great place nearby since it was nearly noon already.\u00a0 Twist my arm J-wow!<\/p>\n The fall colors were amazing in the vineyards!\u00a0 We stopped on the way to the resturant to take some pictures.<\/p>\n He took us to a restaurant where I think we were the only non-Portugese people in the place.\u00a0 The food was awesome!\u00a0 The Alvarinho was the best wine I’ve had in Portugal so far…I think it was 10 euros!<\/p>\n We then hit our 2nd winery, Quinta do Gradil.\u00a0 Whereas the first winery we visited was completed in 2011, this winery is very old, dating to the 18th century.\u00a0 All of the wines were very good, with the best being the 100% Tannat!\u00a0 I walked away with one bottle….wish I could drag more along but we are trying to stay light.\u00a0 This was a much more expensive bottle that the first two I bought…..at 8.60 euros!\u00a0 I could put this wine up against $50+ wines back home!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
