Our 4th day of touring the wineries of Portugal continued with our group of about 30. The tour was sponsored by Washington State University which used the culinary expert tours of e-Spain. We visited Casa Santos Lima which has 400 hectares of vineyards onsite and off site. They are the largest producer of Vinho Regional Lisboa and DOC Alenquer. They are exporting 90 percent of their production.
