FRENCH WINE WITH WORLD FAMOUS SINGING OWNER
You probably knew Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have a vineyard in Provence in France.
Chateau Miraval
It is open for tours, but you cannot just turn up. You must book in advance.
PORTUGUESE WINE WITH A FAMOUS SINGER OWNER
But over in Portugal look out for Adega do Cantor, the farm of the singer, which belongs to Cliff Richards.
Portuguese Language
Adega is actually wine cellar or winery in Portuguese. I have used Duolingo to learn Portuguese. You can also find translations on Translate Google, and Wikivoyage Phrasebook Portuguese.
Portuguese has a large number of words which are similar to Spanish. Portuguese is one of the romance laguages, based on Latin, languages which are all related.
Often the consonant remains the same, but the vowels change. De is French for of. Do is Portuguese, as in Adega do Cantor.
Cantor and Singer are both family names in the USA, UK and English speaking countries.
I saw a website offering Adega Do Cantor as a destination for hen nights.
He has been granted an honour by the Portuguese government.
If you are in the UK, his portrait is in the National Portrait Gallery behind Traflagar Square. You can see Ciff Richard's hand prints in Wembley.
