Join Richard Hewitt, PVCC (Piedmont VA Community College) professor, sommelier and author of A Cottage in Portugal (Simon & Schuster) as we tour the ‘new Tuscany’ visiting some of the most unique, historic sites on the planet as well as the Alentejo’s top wineries and restaurants.
With miles of vineyards and cork oak trees, historic hilltop cities and deserted beaches-not to mention increasingly varied hotels and restaurants- the Alentejo has something for everyone. Portugal’s largest region, the Alentejo covers a third of the country, stretching north and east of Lisbon toward the southern Algarve coast and east to Spain.
