If you'd like to learn a little bit about Portugal's wine, United Regions of Dao Sul has lots of information. According to the Portuguese National Tourism Office:

The Quinta de Cabriz, in the Dao wine country of Portugal's Centro Region, has been inviting visitors to its wine estate since 1993, and now other estates in Portugal are following suit. At the Quinta do Encontro, modern architecture blends with the estate and visitors are offered roast suckling pig, Bairrada style, from the estate's wood ovens. At the the Herdade Monte da Cal in the town of Fronteira, in the Alentejo Region, has added a new restaurant and tasting room, and offers an introduction to the wine culture of southern Portugal.
