The Algarve has long been a
favourite and extremely popular holiday destination. It is seen as such thanks
to its beautiful landscape and fantastic facilities. Though it is not yet
widely known, the Algarve is also becoming a top European destination for wine
lovers and connoisseurs. In fact, Premier Holidays has a fantastic selection of
Algarve holiday villas, apartments
and townhouses, perfectly placed for enjoying the Algarve’s blossoming wine
scene.
There are many locations in
Portugal that wine is traditionally from, however the Algarve isn’t normally
mentioned in the same breath as these. This will not be the case for much
longer, as word of the excellent wines that are starting to emanate from the
Algarve spreads. With wine becoming an increasingly popular hobby and area of
interest, now is a great time to experience one of Europe burgeoning wine regions,
from the comfort of Algarve holiday
villas.
The quality of wine in the Algarve
is certified by the fact that the area holds four wines that boast a Protected
Destination of Origin seal. The first is Lagoa (DOC) where the sandy soil and
warm weather help produce a distinct, rich and full bodied flavour. Next Lagos
(DOC) which produces a smooth fruity red, and a full bodied white, there then
is Portimão (DOC) where the reds are light and smooth and the whites produced
tend to be extremely soft with strong aromas. Finally Tavira (DOC) which
produces a soft a fruity red, and a supple but full bodied white. These
exciting locations and wines can be fully enjoyed during a stay in some of
Premier Holiday’s villas
in Algarve.
For those who fancy finding some
even better kept secrets, then there is also a rise in the number and
popularity of smaller and privately owned vineyards, such as the Adega do
Cantor, which is owned by the singer Cliff Richard.
Even for those that are not mad
about wine, the Algarve remains a fantastic destination, with a wide array of
great locations, accommodation, entertainment and food on offer. To view
