THE JOURNEY

Spanish Rioja, Portuguese Douro, Catalan Priorat and the Alentejo are not simply wine-producing regions. They are territories where the history of the Iberian Peninsula was written — wars, treaties, monastic orders that preserved cultivation techniques, trade that connected Iberia to the world. This expedition travels through both countries in two stages: first Spain, from Zaragoza to Barcelona; then Portugal, from Porto to Lisbon. Wine not as a product, but as a tool for understanding centuries of shared history.
