Danish Xmas Lunch

Plan a weekend outing to the Alentejo in early December, and let us help you get into the Christmas spirit. We decorate our winery tasting room with scandinavian christmas elves, candles, and plenty of yuletide cheer, and open our doors wide to our Cortes de Cima Adega Club members for our annual Danish Christmas Lunch and wine tasting.

Our Danish chef, Bjarne Otto, will be serving a buffet of traditional Danish Christmas fare, served with a complete tasting of our entire range of currently available wines, while admiring the views from our winery tasting room of the winter vineyard.We will also be offering tasting of the other wines on sale in our Cellar Door Shop, which will be open if you want to take some bacchanal Christmas presents home with you.
