This Halloween, the Interactive Museum House of Borba is promoting a unique night-time visit to the Adega das Talhas wine cellar.
31 October 1975. In Borba, Master Silva was known for producing the purest wine in the Alentejo. The recipe was a secret.
One night, one of his assistants, driven by greed, discovered the secret of the recipe. He sneaked into the cellar, copied the ingredients and fled. When the master realised the theft, he was overcome with silent despair.
The master disappeared without a trace and left a note:
“Anyone who dares to desecrate this cellar where my secret was betrayed will meet the same fate as the thief.
The doors will close, and you will only be able to leave if you find the keys and break the curse I leave sealed here.”
Fifty years later, using torches, we will explore Master Silva’s cellar, learn the perfect recipe for talha wine, and discover the three riddles to find the hidden keys and escape.
Time: 60 minutes Players: 4–8 Age group: 18+ Final objective: Gather the three keys and escape from the cellar. Essential tool: Each participant may bring a torch or use the torch on their mobile phone.
31 October 2025 | 9:00 p.m. Location: EM Rézio – Borba Interactive House Museum Rua 1.º Maio 2, 7150-140 Borba Ticket: €10.00 | includes: glass of wine
Nourishing the physical and energetic body, combined with the ancestral roots of clay talhas and the liquid gold they give us: talha wine.
The museum’s courtyard, an open and harmonious space, provides the setting for the practice, which takes place in the late morning. The century-old wine cellar transports us to the essence of this ancestral tradition of clay wine-making. Immersed in this atmosphere, in a relaxed environment, lunch will be served. During the experience, we will learn about the history of talha wines and taste them, of course.

This documentary photo-ethnographic exhibition is a journey into the agricultural past of the Alentejo region, portraying daily life, traditions and agricultural work in the region between 1910 and 1930. It follows a chronology, from the farmhouse through customs, costumes and work, to the end of the harvest.
The photographic collection, belonging to the Casa da Cultura de Orada, in the parish of Borba, is the result of a collection made by António Rocha, a native of the municipality of Alandroal and a lover of popular culture.
This is a tribute to the past and an invitation to reflect on the importance of preserving the cultural and historical identity of the region. It aims to safeguard and disseminate the memories and traditions of our people so that they are not forgotten and to show how agricultural work was carried out.
It will be on display from 3 September to 31 December 2025 at the Borba Interactive House Museum.
Opening hours Wednesday to Sunday 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:30 Entrance ticket required.

Painting Exhibition ‘𝗔 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮’ by Nuno Lourenço 30 May > 6 July Borba Interactive Museum House
‘𝗔 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮’ is a record of Nuno’s time in the Netherlands between 2003 and 2012. Consisting of a small set of four hybrid watercolours and a large series of small watercolours, this record covers everything from the view from his balcony to his specific place of work, from the bus stop to the bar he frequented and, of course, the various perspectives of the Dutch landscapes that inspired him so much.
This project was based on the idyllic and mostly positive idea of what he had experienced in that country until 2012. This project was part of the final exam for the Visual Arts and Design Teacher course, which lasted a whole year of research. ‘𝗔 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮’ has already travelled to the Jorge Araújo Library at the University of Évora’s Colégio dos Leões in the summer of 2024 and to the José Saramago Municipal Library in Avis in March 2025.
Admission requires the purchase of a Museum ticket | €5.00
With a history of more than five hundred years, it was the home of Damião de Góis, a 16th century Portuguese humanist, and later of the illustrious conductor and composer Luís de Freitas Branco. Monte dos Perdigões is a place characterised by free thinking and by the work that has been done.
It is there, in a unique terroir and an exceptional winery within sight of Reguengos de Monsaraz, that Monte dos Perdigões wines are born today. Learn all about its history and wines in this tasting with the producer.
Ticket: €15.00 | Wine Tasting | Regional Snacks Limited places. Book at geral@emrezio.pt | (+351) 925 076 864 www.montedosperdigoes.pt
