We climbed again today...up to the Beira Interior wine region...to a gorgeous winery at the foot of the Serra de Estrela (mountains of the stars):


José Almeida Garrett, owner of Almeida Garrett wines, was a generous and genial host as was his sister Marguerita; we were joined by his vintner Mario, and sales director João:


We were so, so pleased by the wines: vibrant, pure and delicious.  Can't wait to order them and get them back home in Ontario!  Jose's family has been making wine for 200 years:


As well, this winery offers wine tourism and rents a gorgeous family house that sleeps fourteen, bathed in sun and surrounded by mountains, vines, pine forests, chestnuts and fruit orchards:
