Algarve wines are once again in the spotlight in Vilamoura. On October 12, 2026, the Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa will host the 3rd edition of the Algarve Wine Session, an event dedicated to the discovery, appreciation, and promotion of wines produced in the region.

Throughout the day, producers, industry professionals, and wine lovers will be able to participate in tastings, masterclasses, lectures, and networking moments, in an environment designed to bring those who produce closer to those who taste, sell, and appreciate Algarve wines.

More than just a wine tasting

The event was designed to be more than just a simple tasting. There will be an area prepared for business meetings, networking, and direct contact with producers, reinforcing the connection between wine and the regional economy.

The Algarve Wine Session Lounge will also feature wines, socializing, and musical entertainment, creating a more relaxed atmosphere to discover new producers and new labels.

Why Algarve wines deserve to be discovered

The Algarve has its own winemaking tradition, with different terroirs and grape varieties that reflect the diversity of the region. Among them, Negra Mole stands out as one of the most iconic grape varieties of the Algarve.

Events like the Algarve Wine Session help to showcase another dimension of the region: vineyards, producers, gastronomy, culture, and local products.

Is it worth visiting?

Yes, especially if you enjoy wine or want to get to know Algarve products better. The Algarve Wine Session allows you to taste wines, meet those who produce them, and better understand the relationship between territory, gastronomy, and regional identity.

It is also further proof that Vilamoura and the Algarve offer much more than just sun and beach. There are experiences linked to culture, gastronomy, and local production that deserve to be discovered all year round.
