Visit and workshops for families
Inspired by ancient Rome, its winemaking techniques in clay pots, traditions and plays, we will create a carnival mask inspired by Roman theatre through clay!
After learning about the process of “Vinho de Talha” – the technique of making wine in clay pots left by the Romans over 2000 years ago – and how this nectar of the gods is still made in the Alentejo, we’ll travel back to ancient Rome.
We challenge families to create their own clay mask, inspired by the Roman masks used in theatre plays in the 1st century BC.
Around the 1st century BC, theatre in Ancient Rome was a diverse artistic form, ranging from street theatre and acrobatics at festivals to the staging of comedies by Roman playwrights, religious performances of a serious or satirical nature.
In Latin, Persona is the word for mask. Unlike today, where the mask has the role of concealing identity, at the time the mask was simply the object through which the actor personified his character.
When it came to painting and portraiture, the Romans were more realistic than the Greeks. They created detailed reproductions of faces. These masks represented generic types: young people, adult men, women, gods or kings.

Times: Sessions at 10.30am and 2.30pm
Venue: EM Rézio – Borba Interactive House Museum

Borba’s Interactive Museum House is hosting the 3rd edition of “Pinceladas de Vinho”, which will take place in Borba on 9 March.
In partnership with USkBadajoz and USkCáceres, the Urban Sketching event promises to immerse you in the incomparable wine-growing atmosphere that Borba preserves.
The programme includes sketching around the Casa-Museu de Vinho de Talha and the town, followed by lunch in the winery with typical cuisine and Alentejo Traditional Choir.
You can find out more and register via the following links:
The Talha wine is produced by hand using the ancient technique of fermenting grapes in clay pots. This technique dates back to Roman times and has remained unchanged for over 2000 years, passing down from generation to generation.
It was the ancient Romans who introduced vineyards, winemaking techniques to the Iberian Peninsula viticulture and the art of wine making.
The large amount of archaeological finds, Roman ruins and engravings in the Alentejo region demonstrate the previous and strong Roman presence in Hispania. Some of them show how the Romans made wine and stored their wines in pots and vases similar, or even identical, to the talhas.
Talha, which derives from the Latin “Tinalia” means vase or vessel of large dimensions. A carving is, therefore, a clay pot, more or less less porous, which is intended for fermentation and storage of musts wines and various liquid products such as olive oil and vinegar. They come in different sizes and shapes but rarely exceed two meters in height and one ton in weight, which can, at most, contain 2,000 liters of must.
It is said that carvings appeared in Georgia, where they are called qvevris, in the year 6000 BC. A qvevri was found on Mount Khrami dating from this period, proudly decorated with bunches of grapes in relief.
