Parallel Events within the Palácio da Bolsa

The Palácio da Bolsa, with its artistic rooms, allows for the simultaneous execution of multiple events, as demonstrated during Essência do Vinho.

The organization of these smaller-scale events enhances credibility and visibility, attracting prominent figures from the gastronomy and wine sectors.
