Lisbon Sala Ogival – Wine Taste & Shop


From Tuesday to Saturday, between 11.00 and 19.00, ViniPortugal’s Lisbon Sala Ogival is open to the public, located in the Ministry of Agriculture premises in Praça do Comércio (“Black Horse Square”). In elegant surroundings one can taste fine Portuguese wines furnished by producers through their respective regional winegrowing commissions. A selection of wines from three different regions changes every three weeks, thus ensuring a showing of all Portugal’s winegrowing regions and some of its top wines in a short space of time. Wines available for tasting can be purchased by visitors at the Lisbon Sala Ogival and ViniPortugal staff are always on hand to provide information on the wines on current offer. The Lisbon Sala Ogival is the first permanent space devoted to promoting Portuguese wines, preceding its sister location in Oporto, which opened on February 7, 2007 in the Palácio da Bolsa in the historic area of the city. The Lisbon space was ceded by the Ministry of Agriculture, and an investment of €200,000 was spent in renovating the tasting rooms, designed by the same architect responsible for the Portuguese Wine Pavilion in Expo’98.
