Free Medronho Tasting

free medronho tasting on the Algarve Downhill Cycling Trip

Medronho, known as Portuguese firewater, is a traditional spirit derived from the fruit of the strawberry tree (Medronheiro), abundant in Portugal’s Algarve region. This potent liquor boasts a distinct flavour profile, evoking ripe fruit with a touch of sweetness and a fiery edge. Produced through fermentation and distillation, it yields a clear, high-alcohol content liquid.

Esteemed for its cultural significance, Medronho is savoured as a digestif or reserved for special occasions, reflecting the region’s culinary heritage. You’ll have the opportunity to visit a medronho farm, witness the distillation process, and sample a small taste. Bottles are available for purchase to take home as a souvenir.
