Late wine bars, listening rooms and evening tastings in Alentejo.
Late wine bars, listening rooms, fortified specialists and evening tastings across Alentejo.
The wine bar of the Convento do Espinheiro hotel just outside Evora, pouring an Alentejo-led list inside a restored 15th-century convent.
The list: Alentejo-focused wine list served in the hotel's restored 15th-century convent setting
Tip: The bar occupies part of a working 15th-century convent turned luxury hotel; go for the setting as much as the pour.
The wine bar and shop of the Malhadinha Nova country house and winery in the Beja countryside, pouring the family estate's own range for hotel guests and visitors.
The list: In-house wine bar and shop pouring the estate's own range, paired with guided evening tastings and harvest-season experiences
Tip: Combine a stay at the country house with a guided evening tasting; the estate's own harvest programme runs guests through the full picking-to-glass process.
An intimate, fireside evening tasting at the Torre de Palma wine hotel in Monforte, guided by the estate's own winemaker.
The list: Guided evening tastings of the estate's own wines with the estate's winemaker, held by the fireplace in the wine hotel's lounge
Tip: Ask for the fireside tasting with the winemaker rather than a standard flight; guests single it out as the highlight of a Torre de Palma stay.
