Magusto in the Douro with lunch at Quinta da Avessada

Start date 25th October to 30th November.

What is Magusto?

Magusto is celebrated on St. Martin’s Day and is  celebrated  all over  Europe , but the  celebrations  vary from country to country.

In Portugal it is a tradition to make a large  magusto , drink water-pé (new wine) and jeropiga (traditional alcoholic beverage). This is also a time to taste the  new wine . As the popular saying goes, “ on St. Martin’s day, go to the winery and taste the wine ”.
