simplesmente… Vinho is an “off” salon, an independent and alternative wine festival, which unites vignerons simply … by the wine. Wine that respects the earth and the terroir, the vine and the grapes, people and traditions. Wine that simplesmente … wants to be wine, drank, appreciated, shared. Compelling wines with a healthy dose of madness and poetry.

In this seventh edition, simplesmente… Vinho stays at home. We need the Douro river, we can’t go on without roots, traditions, history, sidewalks, old walls, new emotions and simplesmente… we find all this (again) @ Cais Novo.

In 2018 we were simplesmente… Forest. We joined forces with Quercus to promote a better (rural) world and help mitigate the effects of the dramatic forest fires of 2017. In 2019, we are simplesmente… Brasil. For a long time we wanted to have sincere wines from Brazil and we got it: Marina Santos and Israel Dédea (Vinha Unna) and Lis Cereja (Feira Naturebas) are going to rock!

The seventh edition features 101 vignerons, from Brasil, España, Portugal and France that can be paired with the petiscos (portugese tapas) by three wine-friendly restaurants.

Nuno Pinto Leite is the curator of the art exhibition, re-shapping Cais Novo as a gallery

It’s a tradition, each night ends with a live musical lgig.

Brasil is the special guest, with the presence of Marisa Santos and Israel Dédea (Vinha Unna, Pinto Bandeira in Serra Gaúcha) and Lis Cereja, creator of Enoteca Saint VinSaint & the fair Naturebas, in São Paulo.
