Winenot Boutique Wine and Gastronomy Tour 2020 Douro Valley & Porto WineNot Boutique Wine and Gastronomy Tour 2020 Douro Valley & Porto Saturday September 19th - Saturday September 26th, 2020 Welcome to Porto, one of the most beautiful towns of Europe! Welcome to Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe! Porto is both the city that provided a nation with a name and a fortified wine famous world-wide: Port Wine. It is the capital of the North of Portugal and a World Heritage City, having a Historic Centre with over 150 classified monuments. This recognition by UNESCO is undoubtedly a tribute to its wealth of over two thousand years of history. From the remains of Visigotic and Celtic villages, Roman roads, bridges and Castros to Romanesque and Gothic churches and Cathedrals built during the Medieval Age, centuries of mankind-built heritage are to be discovered in and around Porto. In Porto, you will find a traditional welcoming and conservative environment, but also a contemporary and artistic city. This is shown in the streets, in the architecture, monuments and museums, and in the lively terraces, restaurants and leisure areas at the delightful sea coast and in the medieval Douro River side. - 2 - Portugal wine regions to be visited: Vinho Verde wine region Douro and Port wine region - 3 - 1. Program Day 1, Saturday Arrival at Porto airport Welcome at the airport by your English-speaking guide Bus private transfer to a nearby restaurant, at 10 minutes from airport Lunch at a modern casual restaurant by the beach This casual nice restaurant has an exceptional location on the beach, offering a summer terrace and a superb interior room spacious and airy, with large windows and views to the beach. The decor is modern and sophisticated. This is a very pleasant restaurant, with a cosmopolitan atmosphere and good cuisine. Included a three courses menu, coffee, white and red wine and soft drinks. After lunch, bus transfer towards the Douro Valley Region. - 4 - Douro Valley Winemaking Region, classified as a World Heritage Landscape by Unesco The valley is spectacularly beautiful with the hills falling steeply down to the water’s edge becoming more and more sparsely populated and wild the further inland one travels, with more of the land being given over to terraces of vines and, to a lesser extent, olive groves. This is port country and was, in fact, the world’s first demarcated wine region being established in 1756. Evidence of the port industry can be seen along the valley with all the famous company names – Ferreira, Cockburns, Taylors, Sandeman and others – appearing on large placards on the hillsides. The colour of the land changes throughout the year as the vines mature. Discovering the home of Port and the Douro Wine “Famous as the home of Port, the Douro is now also an exciting source of table wines. With its spectacular scenery and the recent emergence of some exciting new producers, the Douro is pretty close to wine geek heaven.” (Wineanorak.com) Check-in at the Visconde da Várzea Hotel in the Douro Valley Winemaking Region (description in annexe). Guests will enjoy relaxing in the swimming pool of the hotel with an astonishing view over the mountains and vineyards, or get the best of the pure air of Douro in a walk by the vineyard paths.

His descendants still live here, but visitors can tour the gardens and part of the house. Its granite wings shelter a forecourt dominated by an ornate balustrade stairway and overlooked by rooftop statues. Behind the palace is an Alice in Wonderland garden of tiny box hedges, prim statues and a fragrant cypress tunnel. Inside, you can visit a few rooms, heavy with velvet drapes and fussy period furnishing. Departure to one of the most renowned wine estates of the Douro Valley for a visit and lunch.

  • August – September 2020
    INTERNATIONAL MEN’S CLUB OF ZUG, P.O. BOX 7212, 6301 ZUG IIII Editor: Alan Cattell • email: [email protected] IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IMCZNEWS AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2020 EDITORIAL & EVENTS I hope you’re all managing to enjoy the summer holiday season safely. I know it’s not what many of you would have planned, but with the restrictions on foreign travel, potential quarantine rules and the inadvisability of certain types of holidays (e.g. cruises) we need to be flexible and look closer to home. Fortunately, this being Switzerland, there are a lot of options. Unfortunately the depths of human stupidity know no bounds. We know that Covid-19 is still around and we have few defenses against it, but that does not seem to stop some people acting like it doesn’t exist. Numbers are up again in many countries, and in some dramatically. Please remember that we each share a responsibility to contribute to the management of the disease as our decisions don’t affect only ourselves. So stick to the hygiene rules, maintain separation, wear a mask if in doubt and download and use the Swiss Covid app. With these relatively simple and fairly painless measures we can make a big difference to the progression of the disease, help save lives and avoid further draconian lock-down measures. As mentioned in the last newsletter, the IMCZ is starting to return to “normal”, as far as possible given the Covid guidelines. We are holding our normal Stammtisch meetings on Thursday evenings and we have two events planned. 23rd August – Afro / Caribbean themed Summer Party Introducing… New members at the Siehbachsaal at the lakeside in Zug.

    Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Best things to do in Oporto Forged by some of history's leading architects, Porto's majestically adorned valleys combine Latin charisma, Baroque flair, and a peculiarly British streak as sweet as the region's Port wine. Here's what to see in one of the world's most charismatic cities! Luis I Bridge Gustave Eiffel's - Luis I Bridge is as spectacular as the views from it. Cross the Douro to the famous Port wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia for sun-soaked panoramas of both cities! Página 1 Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Clerigos Tower The highest point in a low city, sailors once used the Clerigos Tower as a guide into the riverfront square. Great views await if you can manage the 240 steps to the top! Porto Cathedral The imposing facade is one of Porto's oldest monuments, but the time-honored Gothic and Baroque alterations of its chapel have made the unique Porto cathedral sightseeing essential! Página 2 Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Região Vinhateira do Alto Douro (Douro Valley) UNESCO World Heritage. Tour the banks of the Port wine-producing river Douro for breathtaking landscapes and a glass or six of the region's beloved purple tipple – straight from the barrel! Casa da Música This colossal cubist bubble quickly became an icon for the city when it was finished in 2005. The Casa da Música offers guided tours of its many features, as well as a dynamic performance program! Página 3 Norte de Anestesia 2017 16 a 18 de Novembro de 2017 Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace) The arrogance of an empire exerts itself in this pompous Stock Exchange Palace Palácio da Bolsa.

CARLOS MARTINS WHOSE PERSEVERANCE , STRENGTH AND RIGOR HAVE INSPIRED MY CREATIVITY TO MY FAMILY , FOR ALL 3 This experimental thesis is applied to a practical case study on the Management Plan of the Historic Centre of Porto World Heritage, which was sent to UNESCO on 5 th December 2008, and in which I actively participated in the analysis drafting and in the composition of texts. It was very useful for me to make a comparison with the Italian method learned during the master course. My supervisor, Professor Falini, during the year of study, showed us her excellent work. My contribution to the work done has helped me to decide which topic I would deal with and to find the enthusiasm to develop a possible model of management for the historic centre of Porto. Most of the supporting materials for the analysis is part of a bibliographic research; although my personal preparation leads me naturally to focus on architecture component of the city system, I will shortly comment some/many of the studies developed by citizens of Porto that I have analyzed about other areas of influence such as engineering, economic, socio- anthropological, environmental, infrastructure.
