Temple of Diana

“April in Portugal” brings its own magic to the ancient city of Évora, a

world heritage site by UNESCO since 1986. Évora, the capital of the

province of the Alentejo, famous for its wine and gastronomy, is a

museum-city with roots dating back to Roman times.

Join us in discovering the charm of Southern Portugal for a long week-

end of history, nature, luxury, gastronomy, wine discovery and relaxed

Chaîne conviviality. And of course, you should plan for a longer stay to

make the best of your visit!

Welcome to all!

After the great international event of the OMGD in Oporto in September 2019, it was

time to organise a "Grand Chapitre" in Alentejo, a region that

brings us excellent memories.

Our Confrere Dr. Jean Ferran, Bailli Provincial for the south of

the Tagus, who we know well, proposes an interesting and

varied program, with includes some classics, such as the Palace

of Cadaval and the Convento do Espinheiro, but also, as you will

see, the theme of the moment on the “ Climate Change and its

effects on the vineyard”.

This Grand Chapitre, which will also include inductions in the

OMGD, happens to coincide with the World Chaîne Day and our

annual General Assembly. It will be a time of great and extended conviviality, and we

expect a varied attendance, with participants not only from the different Portuguese

regions, but also from abroad.

Do not fail to reserve this date, as I have already done; I'm sure it will be outstanding.

In the city of our Gastronomy School our students will, as usual, not miss the call.

Aníbal Soares

Bailli Délégué / Président de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs (Portugal)

Membre du Conseil Magistral (Paris), Officier Commandeur de la Chaîne.

*****

It is a great pleasure for me to organise this Grand Chapitre in and

around the ancient town Évora, one of the most beautiful cities of

Portugal, and to introduce you to the little known treasures of the

Alentejo. I look forward to welcoming you there!

Dr. Jean Ferran

Bailli Provincial du Sud du Tage, Commandeur

“The world is (finally) catching on to Alentejo. Get there before everyone else does.”

LE MENU !

The Chapitre will be based at the “Convento do Espinheiro”, just outside the city of

Évora, a historical convent favoured by the Kings of Portugal since 1458, and

converted into a 5* Hotel with all modern facilty and a fantastic Spa.

https://www.conventodoespinheiro.com/

The “Convento do Espinheiro” is a long standing member of the Chaîne, and this is

where the Gala Dinner will take place on the Saturday night.

Of course you are welcome to extend your stay if you wish to make the most of your

visit and we can help you if necessary. The Alentejo has so much to offer than even

the city of Évora alone cannot be explored in one day.

Friday, April 24th “Straight into action!”

• Welcome to a late afternoon cocktail hosted by our Chargée de Mission for the

ACCR, HRH Princess Diana, Duchess of Cadaval in her family’s Palace, with the

participation of the students of the ACCR sponsored Chaîne’s Gastronomy

School of Évora.

• The cocktail will be followed by a friendly dinner at the “Enoteca Cartuxa”, owned

by the famous wine foundation “Fundação Eugenio Almeida” which produces

some of the best wines in the Alentejo.

Saturday, April 25th “The Deep Alentejo”

• We will start the day with a talk by our Confrere and Professionel du vin, Miles

Edlmann on the theme “Climate changes and viticulture in Alentejo” where we will

hear about the challenges faced by the wine makers in Southern Portugal.

• We will then travel to one of the best wine producers in the Alentejo, the

“Comenda Grande” a Commandery established by the Knight Templars, now a

family based agricultural estate with a century long tradition that strives firmly

and continuously for the reconversion of Alentejan agriculture.

from the Alentejo region based on vocal music without instrumentation,

listed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

o The Gastronomic Dinner prepared specially for the Chaîne will also allow us

to celebrate the World Chaîne Day in style!

Sunday, April 26th “The Morning After”

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

The nearest airport is Lisbon (LIS), an easy 1h20 drive to Évora on the A2 / A6 motorways.

Transfers from Lisbon to Évora can be organised but are likely to be more expensive than

renting a car! The alternative is Faro airport (FAO) in the Algarve, connected by charter

flights to most cities in Europe, and a 2 ½ hour lovely drive through the Southern Alentejo.

If you are coming from abroad, we strongly suggest that you extend your stay to explore the

Alentejo (the historical cities of Évora, Estremoz and Vila Viçosa are close to each other and

well worth exploring) and also spend a few days to visit beautiful Lisbon or play golf in the

Algarve. We would be happy to help you organise your program, just ask.

The weather is likely to be warm during the day (24ºC / 75ºF), cooler at night (15ºC / 58ºF).

April is a lovely time of the year in the Alentejo, but there might be the odd shower… So pack

a light sweater for the evening and an umbrella (although the hotel will supply one if

necessary). Cobble streets are not easy to walk on high heels, you’ve been warned!

Any question you have, just ask and we will try to answer as best we can. We look forward to

showing you our beautiful Alentejo.

VIVE LA CHAÎNE !

This program is still subject to minor alterations!

THE CITY OF ÉVORA

Évora is the capital of Portugal's south-central Alentejo region. In the

city's historic center stands the ancient Roman Temple of Évora (also

called the Temple of Diana). Nearby, whitewashed houses surround

the Cathedral of Évora, a massive Gothic structure begun in the 12th

century. The Igreja de São Francisco features Gothic and baroque

architecture along with the skeleton-adorned Chapel of Bones.

Stretching beyond the city's medieval walls, the arched Aqueduto da

Água de Prata (Aqueduct of Silver Water) dates from the 16th

century. Praça do Giraldo is the centuries-old main square, centered around the Henriquina

Fountain. In a former palace near the cathedral, the Museum of Évora displays art and

artifacts spanning the city's history. Notable churches include the Igreja de Nossa Senhora

da Graça, with classical statues set on its Renaissance facade, and the Igreja de São João,

where the nave is covered in blue azulejo tilework

completed in 1711.

From Lonely Planet: “One of Portugal’s most beautifully

preserved medieval towns, Évora is an enchanting place to

delve into the past. Inside the 14th-century walls, Évora’s

narrow, winding lanes lead to striking architectural works: an elaborate medieval cathedral

and cloisters; the cinematic columns of the Templo Romano (near the intriguing Roman

baths); and a picturesque town square,

once the site of some rather gruesome

episodes courtesy of the Inquisition. Aside

from its historic and aesthetic virtues, Évora

is also a lively university town, and its many

attractive restaurants serve up hearty

Alentejan cuisine. Outside town, Neolithic monuments and rustic wineries make for fine day

trips. “

THE DEEP ALENTEJO

“You'll be bewitched – Portugal’s largest region, covering

a third of the country, truly captivates. Think dry, golden

plains, rolling hillsides and lime-green vines. A rugged

coastline, traditional whitewashed villages, marble towns

and majestic medieval cities.

Plus a proud if melancholic people, who valiantly cling to their

local crafts. Centuries-old farming traditions – and cork

production – continue here. Alentejo’s rich past offers

Palaeolithic carvings, fragments from Roman conquerors and

solid Visigothic churches. There are Moorish-designed

neighbourhoods and awe-inspiring fortresses built at stork-

nest heights.

And the cuisine? Alentejo is the destination for

traditional food. Gastronomic delights are plentiful –

pork, game, bread, cheese, wine, and seafood

along the coastline. Birdlife and rare plants are

prolific, and walking opportunities abound.” (Lonely

Planet)

Our Hotel:

CONVENTO DO ESPINHEIRO*****

https://www.conventodoespinheiro.com/en/

The origin of the Convento do Espinheiro is linked to a legend that tells of the apparition of an image of the Virgin above a hawthorn, around 1400. In 1412 a small pilgrimage site was built in honor of Our Lady and given the growing importance of this site, during the reign of D. Afonso V, the church was founded in 1458 and subsequently the convent, which was populated by monks of the order of St. Jerome to whom the church is dedicated.

The rooms we have reserved for you and which are included in the price of the Chapitre are modern “DeLuxe” rooms as shown on the photo below on the left. Should you wish to book a different room or a suite, please let us know and we will request a quote.

THE CADAVAL PALACE

https://www.palaciocadaval.com/index-en.html

« With more than six centuries of history, a unique location to celebrate life, an

essential destination in Alentejo, an invitation to travel and dream. »

Diana, Duchess of Cadaval

We are fortunate to count HRH Diana, Duchess of Cadaval and her husband HRH Prince Charles Philippe d’Orléans as active members of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and their support and contribution to our Gastronomy School in Évora has been essential to the founding of the school. We are therefore very grateful to be invited to their home, and it will provide the opportunity for us to meet some of the students of the Gastronomy School who will be serving the drinks at this occasion.

The Cadaval Palace has been the home and the property of the Dukes of Cadaval family since its foundation in the 14th century until today. Built on the ruins of a Moorish castle, and subject to many changes over the centuries, the final result is a unique combination of Mudéjar, Gothic and Manueline styles.

Stood in the historic centre of Évora, across from the Roman Temple, it features a vast residential area, developing over several floors, two inner gardens and a church, which is the final resting place for every generation of the Dukes of Cadaval family. The church is also of national interest, given its stunning interior, highlighted by azulejo tile panels, signed by their artist, António de Oliveira, and dating from the early 18th century. The Cadaval Palace is currently the residence of the Duchess of Cadaval and her family, although the church and some of the rooms are open to the public throughout the year, exhibiting rare items: books,charters, arms, paintings, sculptures, furniture, porcelain, portraits and travel accessories,among other objects of value and major historical interest.

For the last 21 years, the Cadaval Palace has also hosted a series of cultural events: the Classic Évora Festival, with the support of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation; The Orientals Festival, dedicated to traditional music from the East and the Évora Sacred Music Festival, dedicated to traditional music heritage of music around the world. The Cadaval Palace often welcomes national and international choirs, for performances open to the public, as well as soloists and music groups, and international art exhibitions featuring painting, sculpture and photography.

THE GASTRONOMY SCHOOL

The Gastronomy School of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs was founded in Évora in 2012 to give young students aged between 12 and 16 years coming from underprivileged families a space to socialise between lessons and returning home with the objectives to:

• Awake in these young people an interest in the catering business through contact with gastronomy and oenology.

• Reveal the potential for creative local employment in the catering business and motivate them to pursue a career in this field.

• Encourage the acquisition of specific basic skills in the areas of food and wine and discover new talent in this sector.

• Encourage the students to achieve a secondary educational qualification of “Qualified Technician” in the catering business.

• Introduce them to the gastronomic and oenological heritage of the Alentejo, with the aim of developing tourism, employment and the local economy.

The course is organised over 2 years and 420 hours with a workload of 2

hours a day, 3 days a week and includes

theoretical and practical formation in all

aspects of the hospitality and culinary

business, as well as visits to selected

Restaurants, Hotels, Wineries, and Hotel

Schools and to date 57 students have

graduated and obtained their Diploma,

whilst 12 are now in training.
