Boasting a UNESCO-listed Old Town, Evora is a city overflowing with religious architecture, former palaces and stunning marble fountains. Maneuline architecture can be seen all over the city, along with a dotting of ancient Roman ruins, such as the columned remains of the 2,000-year-old Roman Temple in the historic center. Admire the stonework of the 18th-century Evora Cathedral, learn about the city's 16th century bone chapel, and see buildings of Portugal's second-oldest university, established in 1559.

On arrival, you'll join a staff member of the winery for a shared visit of the estate, admiring the vineyards and cellar, while learning of their unique winemaking process that has been refined over the last 7 centuries. You'll be treated to a tasting of three different wines of the Herdade do Esporao portfolio, as well as sample some olive oils, culminating in a delightful lunch paired with wines by the sommelier. Afterward, conclude with a private transfer back to Evora. Where you’re staying The Noble House B&D Noble Room with Breakfast, 3 DBL (6 Adults) B&D Noble Room with Breakfast, 2 SGL (2 Adults) DAY 3 - SAT, APR 16, 2022: EVORA Sensory Adventure Estremoz is a town in Alentejo famous for its white marble. The same geological conditions that fashioned its pristine stones created limestone soils perfect for wine production. So it’s no wonder that there are so many wineries around Estremoz. The prettiest of them all is Quinta Dona Maria. The estate, which dates back to 1718, was purchased by King João V and offered to Dona Maria, a courtesan with whom he fell in love. In the 19th century, the estate was bought by the Reynolds, a family of British merchants who came to Portugal to produce cork and wine. The current owner, Julio Bastos, inherited the estate from an aunt who married into the Reynolds family. Bastos got his passion for wine from his father. Every year, father and son came to the harvest so that young Julio could be initiated into the mysteries of wine making. Bastos is particularly fond of Alicante Bouchet, a varietal brought to Alentejo by his family in the 19th century. Eager to produce extraordinary wines, Bastos entered into a partnership with Lafite Rothschild. But when the Rothschild team started uprooting his old family vines to plant French varietals, Basto decided to go his own way. He nurtured the old vines and used 17th century marble tanks to tread the grapes. The result are wines with a unique personality: rich and earthy with elegant aromas and a smooth finish. Production volumes are low, so these wines are hard to find. If you’re traveling in Alentejo, stop by Quinta Dona Maria and take home these exquisite wines made in soils nourished by the love of the land and blessed by the richness of marble. When visiting the Quinta on our luxury wine tour, you will be received warmly, feeling the passion for the wines and hospitality of this charming home. After an extensive tasting, you will be invited for a delicious lunch in the ornate dining room. This is a sublime and unforgettable experience.

The drive is approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes.

Visit the heart of the city, Rossio Square, then spend some time in Alfama, the Old Quarter. See the Lisbon Cathedral, with history dating back to the 12th century, and admire views of St. George’s Castle, a Moorish fortification, while catching a stunning panorama over the city from the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte lookout.

SCHOOL OF THE ARTS April 2015 This Doctorate Research was partially supported by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT), trough the award of the Doctorate Grant reference SFRH/BD/71405/2010. V Abstract VI José Alberto Gomes The sound environment is increasingly more relevant in contemporary culture. It is a ‘picture’ of a place, an X-ray of its character and activities, shapeless and amorphous, whilst full of meanings and subtleties. It is a transmission that is complementary to what a picture retains and transports. Therefore it is a unique, tangible impression of the place to which it belongs, and intrinsically, its history, and that of the people who inhabit it, and their relations. Murray Schafer termed this element as Soundscape. Although always a present element, it was only from the end of the Twentieth Century that it has been studied in a systematic way, initially in a more ecological and socio-cultural function approach, but slowly it has been seen as an artistic tool, both in direct use of the sounds as well as being an inspiration, and a starting point, for creation.
