Halloween Program

4 days | 3 nights

This Halloween, we invite you to join us at Malhadinha Nova for a unique experience full of scary but also fun moments! It is believed that the traditions behind what we know today as “Halloween” have started over 2000 years ago, in Ireland. What not many of us know is that the origin of this celebration is the end of summer, and the end of harvests. Celtic populations, traditionally used customs in these religious celebrations to scare away ghosts or spirits that could curse the year’s productions.

Today, Halloween is celebrated worldwide, in a party for people of all ages. This year, we will explore some Halloween traditions from different parts of the world in a three-day programme in the beautiful landscapes of Alentejo, with experiences around gastronomy, wine and nature, with the theme of Halloween always present, but with the charm and attention to detail that are part of Malhadinha Nova’s identity.

We promise a lot of spooky surprises, so join us… if you dare!
