How to cook with Port wine
July 12, 2011
Portugal is an amazing country with so much to offer: wonderful wines, including the famous Ports, a vast selection of cheeses, the very best in cuisine, ancient villages with cobblestone streets and best of all, the people. Portugal was by far one of my best European experiences.
I was amazed at the diversity of the landscapes, the history and beauty of the people in this very small, but very abundant country.
Here you will learn about the famous Port wines as well as using them in your cooking lessons. Stay in cozy accommodations and enjoy excursions where you will be immersed in this wonderful country, visiting renowned points of interest and getting a true feel for this secret of a country.
The national cuisine creates the perfect introduction to the Portuguese art of fine living. Portuguese gastronomy blends the oceans, aromatic herbs and spices with all the fruits and secrets of convent recipes.
You are certain to be impressed by the quality and variety of cheeses produced across the length and breadth of Portugal. Whether made from sheep’s, cow’s or goat’s milk, Portuguese cheeses attract great appreciation.
Savour the buttery soft Serra da Estrela cheese, or a semi-soft Nisa cheese, along with a good glass of wine for an unforgettable taste experience. The cheeses of Azeitão, of Serpa and Terrincho go particularly well with a glass of port. Just one possible combination in the many ideal marriages between the cheeses and wines of Portugal. With a slightly sharper flavour come the cheeses of Beira Baixa and Pico, normally served as desserts or entrées. And any fondue made from São Jorge cheese, that when entire weigh in at between 8 and 12 kilos, is unforgettable.
In the Gaia wine cellars, taste the Port and learn about the stages involved in its production. Old traditions highlight the symbiosis between river, land and this wine, too precious to be fully appreciated alone.
The restaurant /cafeteria, located in the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, has a splendid view over the Park. Its terrace allows visitors to enjoy their meal whilst taking full advantage of the magnificent natural surroundings.
Wine has been produced by traditional landholders in the Alto Douro region for some 2,000 years. Since the 18th century, its main product, port wine, has been world famous for its quality. This long tradition of viticulture has produced a cultural landscape of outstanding beauty that reflects its technological, social and economic evolution.
The Alto Douro Region has been producing wine for nearly two thousand years and its landscape has been molded by human activities. The components of the Alto Douro landscape are representative of the full range of activities association with winemaking – terraces, quintas (wine-producing farm complexes), villages, chapels, and roads. The cultural landscape of the Alto Douro is an outstanding example of a traditional European wine-producing region, reflecting the evolution of this human activity over time.
