Maria João Almeida

Journalist, Ambassador of the candidacy

Being the ambassador of the Baixo Alentejo's candidacy for the European City of Wine 2026 is an honour and a pride. A land of stories, ancient knowledge, and good wine, Baixo Alentejo is a territory where time flows differently, among golden plains, abundant tables, and conversations that linger without haste. A place where the tradition of wine in “talhas” (clay amphorae) is one of its greatest symbols, an ancestral legacy that has crossed generations and continues to provide its visitors with distinctive wines, full of character. This is one of the strong pillars of this candidacy, which also highlights the strength of a territory that knows how to welcome like no other and has been gaining increasing recognition for the quality of its wines, as well as the great variety and genuineness of the wine tourism experiences it offers.

If Baixo Alentejo wins this title, it will be an achievement for everyone: for the companies that dedicate their lives to vineyards and wine, for the families that keep traditions alive, and for all those who find in this land a special place.

Let’s raise a toast together to reach victory!
