Portuguese Wine & Olive Oil Class

  • Le Midi Wine 2108 West Division Street Chicago, Illinois, 60622 United States (map)

Portugal may be a small country, but when it comes to wine (and olive oil), it is anything but simple. With hundreds of indigenous grape varieties, dramatically different growing regions, and centuries of winemaking and agricultural tradition, Portugal remains one of the most exciting and wonderfully distinctive wine countries in the world.

Join us alongside Alisandro Serna of Cultivamos Wine Imports as we take a deep dive into eight wines spanning Portugal from the bright, Atlantic-influenced whites and reds of Vinho Verde to the warmer-climate regions of the Alentejo and Douro. We’ll explore native grapes (that you may or may not be able to pronounce), the people and places behind the bottles, and the traditions that make Portuguese wine so unique.

And because grapes aren’t the only thing Portugal does exceptionally well, we’ll also be tasting a selection of olive oils from Esporão, offering another delicious look at the land, agriculture, and flavors of the Alentejo.

Keep the Taste of Portugal going into late October. Get your tickets HERE.
