In this program, entirely dedicated to wine and grapes, we invite you to join us, in which is one of the most important times of the year at Malhadinha!
The celebration of the harvest dates back to ancient times where the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians celebrated the moment that marked the end of another intense agricultural year. The Harvest is, to this day, a proof of resilience and teamwork, of Man and the vineyard over weather conditions, diseases and pests which affect crops and hard work in the fields.
This is a festival that values tradition, coexistence, the wealth of what earth supplies us with and the passion for wine.
