- **Event Name**: Quinta do Paral Portugal Wine Dinner
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us on March 19, as we host Christel Gaillard of Quinta do Paral, for our Portugal Wine Dinner.

Located near Vidigueira, in Alentejo, Portugal, Quinta do Paral’s story reaches back more than three centuries. Its name—rooted in an ancestral pear orchard—first appeared in 1703. Over time, the estate passed through the hands of noble families including the Viscount of Esperança, the Count of Palma, and the Countess of Santar.

Its current chapter began in 2017, when entrepreneur Dieter Morszeck acquired the property, and reimagined the estate with deep respect for Alentejo culture. Working alongside winemaker Luís Morgado Leão, Morszeck transformed Quinta do Paral into a family-run project, rooted in environmental sustainability, old-vine preservation, and an unwavering commitment to the local terroir. Today, the estate produces award-winning wines and exceptional olive oils, honouring Vidigueira’s agricultural legacy while elevating it for a new generation of wine lovers.

To accompany the wines, we have put together a six-course menu, highlighting the cuisine of Portugal:
