From
Ginjinha of Obidos, a liqueur made from locally grown
morello cherries, to Pears from Patarabia—dried over a wood
fire and then coated in rich chocolate; from the Brandy of
Lourinha, the only DOC (registered region of control) in
Portugal, to the light Rose wines of the Vermelha
co-operative, whose total production capacity is an
astonishing 25 million litres; from traditional windmills to
pure honey from the Serra of Montejunto an area of
outstanding Natural Beauty, protected wildlife and fauna;

surprises.

We have a
passion for fine food and regional delicacies which are in
abundance in this delightful region of Portugal. We taste
wines from traditional family estate wineries; we try the
best handmade liqueurs; we smell the biscuits and cakes as
they are brought out of the oven; in the chocolaterie, one
breath is a feast for the senses; we meet with artists and
traditional craftspeople; we visit the local festivals and
events to find new produce from suppliers dedicated to
traditional methods. We make sure that the produce and the
goods in our gift baskets are the best from the region and
meet our standards using traditional methods of production.
We personally select the items to carry in our on-line
inventory.

We
research, design and market our gift baskets, hampers,
towers of boxes, exceptional wines presented in a pine box,
corporate gifts and favours for events and receptions. All
of our produce is made in the Oeste by small rural
businesses. We have unearthed unique craft objects and
decorative items made by the artists and craftspeople in the
region. We include some items in our gift baskets and will
be happy to make a custom selection for your order if you
have a particular requirement. Our order form has a space
for your comments and we shall be delighted to attend to
your personal requests.
