*last tickets available!*

Mattia Adani, President of UEIL, will host a President’s reception and dinner on the eve of the Congress at Taylor’s port wine cellars in the heart of the historic area of Vila Nova de Gaia in Porto.

Established over three centuries ago in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest styles. The cellar is across the river from the old city centre of Oporto, housing most of the company’s extensive reserves of wood aged Port as well its Vintage Port cellars.

The event will commence with a private tour and tasting at 5pm of four exclusive port wines, including a welcome by the UEIL President, followed by dinner at the Barão Fladgate Restaurant*. The restaurant enjoys a spectacular location and atmospheric setting in the grounds of Taylor’s Port cellars with magnificent views across the Douro River to the old historic centre of Porto. It offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional cuisine where the accent is on fresh local ingredients and on showcasing the authentic flavours of Portugal.

Tour, tasting, dinner, drinks and transport to and from the Congress hotel included in the price of the President’s reception.

The President’s reception can be purchased separately from the Congress ticket for €225+VAT. The event starts at 5pm on 15 October. Tickets for this event are limited.
