Summer in the Alto Adige
This summer I visited a number of wine estates in the Alto Adige, in the Italian (but mainly German-speaking) region of South Tyrol. A wine region that appeals to me because of its special location and, of course, because it is not yet so well known in the Netherlands.

Terras Altas, Portugal
In June 2023, I took part in the trade mission to Terras Altas in Portugal. At the invitation of the region, 18 entrepreneurs from Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium travelled through this region in eastern Portugal. A special region that is still developing. Among other things, we tasted red wine from the Beira. Very interesting! By the way, this region is also very worthwhile because of its nature. The programme of this type of trip is often packed, but always surprising. I will never forget the folk dance evening organised especially for us (including a report on the regional radio)!
