Evora

From Coimbra, we traveled west to the ancient Roman town of Evora. En route we visited Quinta do Lagoalva and tasted their excellent wines along with a fabulous lunch. The country side was in many ways reminicient of the Texas hill country. The many cork oaks dotting the hillsides were of the same stature as oaks in the Texas hill country. We had a walking tour of Evora ending in a dinner of Alentejano cuisine. The following day we went for a tasting at Quinta do Carmo - Dona Maria with its extensive grounds. Following some free time in Evora, we traveled to Herdade do Esporao for a tasting and our farewell dinner - excellent. The next day en route to Lisbon we stopped at Quinta de Chocapalha.
