Thirsty tales

If you love rosé, the new Pink Palace is made for you

AIXVINTAGE

Anyone who has ever been to Porto, Portugal, can wholeheartedly agree: this is a beautiful city where you can eat and drink wonderfully. Port, of course, but so much more besides. And you can do all that in the new World of Wine district. Even more fun if you love rosé!

You’ll find the Pink Palace in the cultural district of World of Wine (WOW) in historic Vila Nova de Gaia, located in the heart of Porto. With seven museums, nine restaurants, bars and cafés, various shops, event and exhibition spaces, and its own wine school, you can immerse yourself (across 55,000 square metres!) in Portuguese wine and Portuguese cuisine (tip: try something other than Pastel de nata).

All this comes with sweeping views over the city and the Douro River, along with the beautifully restored former wine warehouses.

Five delicious rosés

The journey through the Pink Palace takes you not only through Portugal, but also through Provence. Even better: during your visit, five drinks are served: Quinta do Vale do Bragão Rosé, AIX Gran Vin de Provence Rosé, Mateus Rosé, Vértice Rosé Bruto and Croft Pink Rosé Port.
