Sao Martinho magusto, new-wine and chestnut feast ★ 4.0
Around Saint Martin's Day on 11 November, villages light bonfires, roast chestnuts and tap the first young wine of the harvest in the magusto feast. The wine-growing north, including the Douro and neighbouring Tras-os-Montes, keeps the tradition most strongly.
Tip: Seek out village tascas serving agua-pe and jeropiga alongside roast chestnuts, the rustic part-fermented drinks of the new-wine season.
