BLACK IS BACK AGAIN

BLACK IS BACK AGAIN

Ready for going out to a wine tasting event on the countryside of Portugal where we spent a fabulous time at Quinta da Santa Cruz, a lovely family owned rural retreat with a fantastic view over the Rio Douro.

We started with half dry white Porto as an aperitif, followed by two white and two red Douro wines and finished with an old vintage Porto which is the highest quality level. Interesting to know that all of them have been made and blended of unique Portuguese grapes.

I am wearing a black stretch wrap dress from Wallis which is perfect for an evening out while travelling! Easy match with black sandals and a clutch.

Bereit für eine Weinprobe im Landesinneren Portugals!
Wir haben ein paar wunderschöne Tage auf dem Landsitz Quinta da Santa Cruz in der Nähe Portos verbracht. Traumhafter Blick auf den Rio Douro, antike Zimmer mit Steinmauern und unheimlich netter und persönlicher Service.

Als Aperitif gab es weißen halbtrockenen Portwein, danach 2 verschiedene Weiß- und Rotweine und als Abschluss einen ausgezeichneten alten Vintage Portwein (die höchte Qualitätsstufe). Alle Weine wurden aus traditionellen Portugiesischen Rebsorten hergestellt.

Dieses schwarze Wickelkleid von Wallis ist so praktisch für die Reise, da es nicht knittert. Schwarze hohe Sandalen und eine Clutch dazu - so kann man auch auf Reisen ganz einfach und trotzdem passend für einen Abend gekleidet sein, was meint Ihr?
