On Tuesday we visited Herdade do Esporão, a winery located about 45 minutes from Évora.  Most wineries in the region require advanced notice for their tours and tastings - you cannot just show up at anytime.  We reserved the English-speaking tour of the facility with a tasting at the end.  There were nine of us in the tour group including two couples traveling together from Colorado and another group of three from Holland.  The tour-guide was very knowledgable and we learned a lot about the winery and how they produce their wines.
