PROCLAMATION OF VINTAGE CEREMONY

The Proclamation of the Confraria Vintage is one of the highlights in the life of the Confraria. Like the Annual Enthronement of New Members and the Rabelo Boat Race, the Proclamation of the Confraria Vintage is one of the most unique festive events for the entire Port Wine Trade.
The Solemn Proclamation of a Confraria Vintage is decided upon by the Chancellery after it has been informed by the majority of Port Wine companies whose management are Active Members of the Confraria, that each intends to declare a Vintage year.

The Confraria Vintage’s are: 1982, 1983, 1985, 1991, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2016 and 2017.
