The Municipality of Moura and the Parish Council of Amareleja decided to cancel the Fair of Vine and Wine of Amareleja will not be held, this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
the contest, which is traditionally held at the beginning of December, assumes itself as one of the main events to promote the wine sector in the region, which has the presence of several wine producers, as well as other regional products. Cultural moments are another important component of this event., which also promotes local culture and identity.
The decision not to hold the Amareleja Vine and Wine Fair, in 2020, aims to safeguard public health, at a time when the country is focused on reducing the daily number of new cases of infection by the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The concentration of people being the main source of contagion, this was the reason that motivated the cancellation of the event, which would celebrate its 19th edition this year.
in this difficult time, We count on the understanding and collaboration of all Amarelejenses and other partners, knowing that we will do everything so that the municipality of Moura and the town of Amareleja have their, our Fair and that next year this will be an event the size of wine producers in the county, but also to the size of the village of Amareleja, which well deserves a high quality event. we will be back in 2021!
