Events at Cavalariça
In the heart of Alentejo, Portugal's soul-stirring region known for its rolling cork forests and authentic charm, Cavalariça offers two extraordinary venues for unforgettable events. Whether amid the historic grandeur of Évora or the laid-back sophistication of Comporta, each location provides a unique backdrop for celebrations that blend culinary excellence with distinctive atmosphere.
At Cavalariça Évora, housed in the 14th-century Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval, events unfold in a space where history meets contemporary art. The Andalusian-inspired courtyard, designed by renowned landscaper Louis Benech, features refreshing fountains and orange trees, while interiors showcase vibrant murals by South African artist Esther Mahlangu and sophisticated design elements by Jacques Grange. Here, adjacent to the iconic Temple of Diana, your celebration becomes part of Évora's UNESCO World Heritage narrative.
“Each wedding at Cavalariça Évora writes its own story within these historic walls. From intimate celebrations in our vibrant dining room to grand ceremonies in the Palace gardens, we orchestrate every detail with the same dedication. The magic lies in how we blend the Palace's timeless elegance with contemporary service, creating celebrations that feel both regal and wonderfully personal.”

Cavalariça Évora Restaurant Supervisor Manager
Cavalariça Comporta, established in 2017 in a thoughtfully converted stable, offers an elegant yet relaxed setting that captures the village's understated luxury. The original horse boxes, now intimate dining spaces, create natural private areas perfect for everything from corporate gatherings to wine tastings. Both venues, recommended by the Michelin Guide, feature menus crafted from handpicked local ingredients, celebrating Alentejo's rich culinary heritage while incorporating international influences.
From intimate celebrations to grand occasions, Cavalariça creates moments that transform events into lasting memories.
