We were able to witness the work being carried out by the duo formed by the English businessman Howard Bilton and the acclaimed Australian winemaker David Baverstock.<\/p>\n<p>We met the space dedicated to wine tourism with a wine shop and an exhibition of various artworks from Howard Bilton&#8217;s private collection, the cellar and the already famous restaurant led by chef Hugo Bernardo.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; woodmart_hide_large=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_hide_medium=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_hide_small=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_hide_extra_small=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10200&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; onclick=&#8221;zoom&#8221; parallax_scroll=&#8221;no&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10192&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; onclick=&#8221;zoom&#8221; parallax_scroll=&#8221;no&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; woodmart_hide_large=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_hide_medium=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_hide_small=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_hide_extra_small=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column_text text_larger=&#8221;no&#8221;]The vineyards where Howard&#8217;s Folly wines are born are located on the outskirts of Portalegre.
