Ribatejo Wine Route

Tour 2 – Bulls and Horses

Tour 2 – Bulls and Horses, because is the region where the tradition of bullfights is more deeply rooted. In the vast plains of Ribatejo, here called "lezírias" (marshes), bulls are bred in total freedom, having always by their side the typical figure of the "Campino", a horseman who in festivity days wears its typical attire: white stockings up to the knee, red waistcoat and green cap on his head.
The reserve has to be made in advance. Please contact the cellars before hand.
