The Festival Alentejo Autêntico held a concert at Quinta do Paral, in Vidigueira, bringing together Luís Trigacheiro and the Grupo Coral da Vidigueira in an enotourism space in the region. The event, which featured American and Brazilian guests, representatives of the local community, and guests from the communication and culture sectors, concluded the festival's 2026 programming.
José Manuel Santos, president of the Regional Tourism Entity of Alentejo and Ribatejo, stated that the goal is to place musical culture increasingly at the center of the region's tourism promotion, associating music and Alentejo cante with the wine, gastronomy, and landscape of the territory. The official classified the region's musicians as great ambassadors of Alentejo.
The festival, developed by Turismo do Alentejo e Ribatejo in partnership with musician Buba Espinho, responsible for the curation, plans to hold 12 microconcerts in wineries, hotel units, and rural settings in the region, with programming until June 2027. Previously, the project had already been featured at Herdade do Sobroso and Herdade da Malhadinha Nova, during the World Summit on Responsible Wine Tourism, held in Beja.
