A Day In The Douro
A Day In The Douro encompasses 3 masterclasses, a grand tasting of over 30 Douro and Port wines from the wider portfolio of our sponsoring wineries and a winemakers’ dinner with some prestigious bottles and a preview of wines new to Hong Kong.
Each of the 1h15 masterclasses will focus on:
1) still wines of the Douro,
2) wood-matured tawny style ports,
3) bottle-matured ruby style ports.
We will examine the range of styles, the winemaking techniques, the range of grape varieties, the soils and planting techniques, the climates and micro-climates, and the future direction of Douro wines and ports. A gourmet dinner will follow the masterclasses, comprising fine Portuguese dishes created to pair with the wines and ports.
All masterclasses will be moderated by Patrick Schmitt MW, Editor-in-Chief of The Drinks Business, with representatives (including Asia brand managers, proprietors and winemakers) from all our sponsoring wineries as speakers.
