A typical restaurant with its main décor made from old clay jars, where Talha wine gains flavor and maturity.
In Vila de Frades, 1 km from Vidigueira, the Typical Restaurant País das Uvas is an old winery that was restored and converted into a restaurant, maintaining its traditional architectural features, thus functioning as both a winery and a traditional restaurant. The wine served in this winery is made in old Moorish clay jars, which also adorn the establishment. In this traditional winery, you can witness all stages of the production of artisanal Talha wine.
"It's not just a winery, nor is it just a restaurant. It's a powerful alliance between the producer's wine and the most authentic Alentejo cuisine. A space filled with amphorae, with the simple and genuine welcome of those who love to welcome and serve well, an always pleasant and familiar atmosphere where Alentejo singing often takes place. And, as if that weren't enough, with the doors open to sharing the knowledge gained from centuries of experience. Here, the amphorae are not just decoration: they hold the wine produced there, and you can witness the various stages of traditional production. Some specialties: silarcas with eggs and asparagus, chickpea stew, lamb stew, Alentejo garlic açorda, asparagus with eggs, lamb's head roasted in a wood-fired oven, and tomato soups."
