Portwine Day 2015

Post by Axel P »

A fantastic event organised by the IVDP to celebrate the anniversary of the Day of the demarcation in 1756, the Instituto dos vinhos do Douro e Porto organised a fantastic event on 10 September in Porto.

We firstly had excellent lectures about the Douro 3.0 and the Luxury segment:
