Food heritage in its monastic setting
The event brings producers and traditional convent sweets into the Monastery of Lorvão, linking tasting with the history and techniques behind the recipes. Talks, workshops and cultural moments broaden the visit beyond a sales fair.
The programme coincides with the biennial music initiative, creating different reasons to visit across the weekend and Monday. A general opening day does not guarantee that every producer or activity is present at every hour.
