This book is packed with information about Portugal and its wine districts. The authors wrote their first book on Portugal 20 years ago and know the country inside out, including its wines and the gastronomy. You will find a wealth of recommendations: wine producers, restaurants, hotels… All is well written, enticing and yet exhaustive. It certainly makes you want to go visit the Portuguese wine regions – if you were not already on your way. Plenty of photography, priority give more to the number of illustrations rather than their size. Also including good maps and a quick introduction to speaking Portuguese!

Chose your language. Read the article in:
