WineWalks return to Adegga WineMarket
Next Friday, December 1st, the Lisbon Marriott Hotel will host another edition of Adegga WineMarket. This year, the big news is the return of the WineWalks. In this edition, it will be possible to take guided tours and taste the best wines from 70 Portuguese producers, through Adegga WineWalks, which are accompanied by an oenologist, sommelier, wineblogger or winelover and have a duration of 30 minutes and maximum participation of 12 people (registration at the door of the event).
“We believe in the innovative perspective of our event. In every edition we try to bring new features and increasingly improve the experience of those who visit Adegga WineMarket, always with the aim of bringing the consumer closer to the best producers at national level,” says André Ribeirinho, one of the founders of Adegga.
The Premium Room, an exclusive area within the event, provides, as usual, a tasting of 50 Great Wines, which includes verticals, magnums, double magnums and jeroboams from some of Portugal’s best wines, such as: Soalheiro Terramatter, Quinta dos Carvalhais Branco Especial, Poeira, Herdade do Peso Ícone, Esporão Reserva, Alves de Sousa Abandonado, Niepoort Poeirinho Garrafeira, Cortes de Cima Incógnito, Niepoort Charme, Niepoort Colheita, Porto Ferreira Vintage 1978, among others.

About Adegga WineMarket
Organized by André Ribeirinho, André Cid and Daniel Matos, this event brings wine producers and consumers together through a platform of innovative events. In 2009, Adegga created the Adegga WineMarket concept, which, in over 20 editions, has raised the quality of wine events, integrating Tasting & Buying, Online Event Store, Premium Room and SmartWineGlass technology. The Premium Room is an exclusive area inside Adegga WineMarket with tasting of top-of-the-range wines and old Port wines, being an opportunity to taste special wines. At the Speed Tasting Table, six producers, for one hour each, will taste and present their new projects. The SmartWineGlass technology, internationally awarded and used in prestigious wine events worldwide, allows event visitors to remember and save the producers visited and the wines tasted through the automatic sending, after the event, of a personalised e-mail. These are some of the innovations that have made Adegga WineMarket a reference in the wine industry. Through modern and consumer-oriented communication, Adegga WineMarket has brought new consumers to wine and made more than 200 quality producers known. In previous years Adegga has internationalised the concept and taken Portuguese producers to Brussels, Berlin and Stockholm.
