About this audio guide
This guide to the Adega Regional de Colares near Sintra digs into the sand, sea and wind that shaped one of Europe's strangest wine regions. It reaches back to the plague that swept Europe's vineyards in the late eighteen hundreds and to the growers who banded together here in nineteen thirty-one. Best heard at the entrance, before you step into the cask hall.
