On 12 and 13 November, the Municipality of Lagoa and the Algarve Tourism Region are organising the fourth edition of the Lagoa Wine Tourism Forum, Iberian Edition, at the Lagoa Congress Centre.
With a clear Iberian focus, the Forum brings together producers, experts, tourism professionals, businesses, public bodies, academic institutions and destinations from Portugal and Spain, in a space dedicated to reflection, knowledge-sharing and cooperation on the present and future of wine tourism. As part of the INOVA ALGARVE 3.0 project, the event explores wine as a means of enhancing the tourist appeal of local areas, examining the relationship between wine, gastronomy, culture, identity and experience, as well as the creation of distinctive wine brands and destinations.
This Forum will highlight the role of accommodation and hospitality in shaping the wine tourism experience and in promoting local products and regions through new approaches and best practices. The programme comprises a series of conferences, which are free to attend, and a series of experiences including lunch and visits to wineries, for which a paid ticket must be purchased.
Both free tickets (Conferences) and paid tickets (Experiences) are available at BOL

A quiet municipal park at Estômbar where freshwater springs meet the tidal Arade, with a tide mill, boardwalks and a stone amphitheatre. Sítio das Fontes is where Lagoa locals go for Sunday picnics while visitors queue for boat trips a few kilometres downstream. Springs bubble into a pool beside the restored tide mill, boardwalk paths loop through marsh and woodland, and egrets and waders work the estuary flats. A small amphitheatre built into the hillside hosts occasional concerts. It is an easy, level wander rather than a hike, which makes it a good outing with children or grandparents in tow. Follow the signs from Estômbar village; late afternoon brings the best light over the marsh, and picnic tables sit under the trees.
Silves' whitewashed old bridge and the riverside beneath the castle, best at low tide when egrets stalk the Arade mudflats. Everyone climbs to the red castle; far fewer linger on the river. The multi-arched Ponte Velha, medieval on older foundations and long nicknamed the Roman bridge, still carries foot traffic across the Arade, and the banks around it are Silves at its most local: anglers, café tables, market mornings and storks clattering on the chimneys. At low tide the river drops to channels where egrets and waders feed, with the castle and cathedral stacked above the whitewash behind. Cross to the south bank in late afternoon for the view back over town, then take a table near the municipal market as the light turns orange.
A necropolis of 5,000 year old monumental tombs in farmland behind Alvor, with a walk-in burial mound at its heart. Alcalar was the ceremonial centre of a Copper Age community that farmed this corner of the Algarve, and restored Monument 7 is the showpiece: a stone mound with a low passage leading to a corbelled chamber, engineering from around 3000 BC that you can peer into from the entrance corridor. Several more tombs lie around it in various states of excavation, and a small interpretation centre sets the scene. Few people come, so you will likely share the site only with larks and the wind. It is signposted from Mexilhoeira Grande off the N125; combine it with lunch in Alvor or Figueira.
