Between the 12th and 14th of April, aspiring Geoparque Oeste and the Escola de Hotelaria e Turismo do Oeste, promote a certified course dedicated to wines and their geodiversity.
Entitled “The Geodiversity of Wine”, this training takes place in several locations in the west of the district of Leiria and the Saloia area of Lisbon, revealing the geology, soils and landscapes of Geoparque Oeste, the hierarchy of terroirs in the Lisbon Region and allowing us to understand how the vineyard contributes to the appreciation of the territory.
Concepts relating to Geotourism, Wine Tourism and Liquor Tourism will also be covered.
