More than 1,200 people are expected to take part in the Setúbal White Wine Party, taking place at the Hotel de Sado in the city on 20 July between 5pm and 11pm.

Around 200 different wines from almost every region in Portugal will be available to taste and buy during the party which is now in its 4th year.

While guests are to where white, it is not only white wine on the menu for the evening. Visitors will be able to try red, white, green, rose and port wines during the party as well as being able to sample traditional snacks including fried cuttlefish and bolinhas de Berlim and some more contemporary offerings to accompany the wine.

Tickets for the event are available at Fnac and Worten or online at www.ticketline.pt and cost from €10, including a commemorative glass.
