Feira do Alvarinho is an annual wine party that takes place in Moncao, in Portugal. To communicate the event, it was created an ancient and fictional kingdom. With own name and civilization, The Kingdom of Alvarinho, designated so because Moncao is known as the cradle of Alvarinho wine, was inspired in the real history, places, iconic people and legends of Moncao. The biggest challenge of this project was to carry the real story of the territory into the character design.

We carried the real story of the territory into character design.
Project Duration

Operation Flow
Poster, Brochure, Magazine and Journal ads, Outdoor Advertising, 3D animated promotional video, Website, Mascot, Radio jingle and Merchandising.
Research
Without ever losing the focus on promotion and commercialization of Alvarinho wine, we created a new kingdom, The Kingdom of Alvarinho, and told its story in a storytelling way. We used different advertising tools on the multimedia campaign, such as illustrations for the main poster, brochure, magazine/journal ads and outdoor advertising, 3D animated promotional video, merchandising, new website, radio jingle and even the official mascot. All of them developed to reinforce the Alvarinho condition as a strategic instrument in the economic competitiveness of the region.
Inspiration
Feira do Alvarinho is an annual wine party that takes place in Moncao, in Portugal, more precisely in the middle of a leafy park nearby river Minho, close to the Galician border. To communicate the event, we created an ancient and fictional kingdom, unmentioned in the history books. We named it The Kingdom of Alvarinho because Moncao is known as the cradle of Alvarinho wine. With own name and civilization, it was inspired in the real history, places, iconic people and legends of Moncao.
