Things to do in Evora, Alentejo: The Best Food & Drink

November 5, 2021 Toi Mattera

Time seems to stand still in Evora, a well-preserved medieval town that features protective walls, a 13th-century cathedral, several palaces,and a 1st-century Roman temple. No surprise that the town center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even though it’s kind of creepy, don’t miss the Chapel of Bones, where the remains of nuns and monks are arranged in a haunting mosaic.

Reviewed By KeithsCoffee - Crows Nest, Australia

Sofia greeted us with enthusiasm and warmth, with a clear outline of the ensuing 3hours and a toast (local red wine) to get us going. We talked of Portuguese food traditions and their historical context. She introduced the importance of the trilogy of onion, garlic & olive oil. With our ingredients pre-measured for lunch, we prepared baked apple, followed with baking mushrooms, carrot salad, bean salad, Migas (with bread, peppers, churiso, and the trilogy; more flavour than our restaurant experiences), flamed chorizo, and pork shoulder. And more local wine. All the while engaged in discussion on food and wine traditions, Portuguese history & politics. Lunch was served. Note: Check the address, as street numbers relate to old farming sequence & are not sequential. Sofia is close to the old city walls.

We scheduled a tour for a morning in April, and were surprised to find that the vintner has incorporated a beautiful old home into the winery. The chapel was our favorite part, complete with wine barrels and a barn owl. The wines were great and they were kind enough to set up an outdoor tasting.
