Restoration began last year (2017), and the scaffolds tell the story of a work in progress. The hope will be to have the buildings habitable within a couple of years. For now, the main production buildings house not only the winemaking but also the tasting room and a restaurant–so there’s plenty to see while the reconstruction continues.

Our main courses were two – a tofu and bock choi dish and a bean and quinoa dish! While we usually eat meat based dishes, both of these were amazing and sealed the deal on Quinta do Arneiro as our rehearsal dinner spot. I also got to try some of Quinta do Arneiro’s spicy red peppers. Definitely ask about them!

A couple of weeks ago, Tom and I took a break from all the Port Wine Day goings-on in Porto and the Douro and headed south. We had been invited to join the vindimas—wine grape harvest—at Quinta do Gradil, in Cadaval, not far from Lisbon. There are countless opportunities to experience harvest season in Portugal, but this one seemed especially fitting.

Some of our guests still rank QDO’s beet risotto as one of their top dishes! I wrote all about it here, so rather than going into all of the specific details again are some highlights:
With sunset, came time for everyone to gather at long tables under a big tent in the courtyard of the Marquis of Pombal’s palace. We poured our choice of wine from the bottles on ice at every table and enjoyed a simple first course of olives and bread with pepper spread.
Then, the reds go into the cement tanks, and the whites into stainless steel. Trucks lining the courtyard outside wait to take finished wine to another facility for bottling.
An intriguing wine: steak aromas in a dynamic play with elderflower on the nose, and black cherry on the palate.
The three-course dinner was served with impressive precision—waiters marching out almost as a drill team, bringing plates to each table in turn.
