## Description
If you're already a Vinhos enthusiast and feel your winery needs an extra touch of prestige, the Tasting Room Expansion Pack is exactly the upgrade you've been waiting for! This expansion isn't just a collection of extra bits; it brings a layer of immersion and new strategic possibilities that level up the competition. The real highlight here is the introduction of tactile and visual elements that transform your tabletop: you now get feature bottles for special wines and Porto bottles, plus a wine rack that makes the whole setup look incredibly premium. 

Beyond the aesthetics, the expansion tweaks the dynamics of tourism and expansion. With new tourist meeples and wooden winery components, the feeling of building a wine empire in the Douro Valley becomes much more tangible. You also gain new action options, such as the hire action tile, which adds an extra layer of planning for players who love optimizing every single move. It's the kind of content that doesn't try to turn the game upside down, but rather polishes the edges and offers new paths for those who have already mastered the worker placement and area control mechanics. If you're looking for more depth and want your Vinhos Deluxe setup to feel like a true luxury tasting session, this expansion is essential. Get your glasses ready, because your gameplay sophistication just went up a notch!

Preparation (Setup)
Wooden Wineries

    Place all the wooden Wineries next to the main board.

Porto Bottles with stickers and Wooden Wine Rack

    Affix each sticker to a Porto bottle to make the labels.
    Place the 6 Porto bottles in the rack as you see in the figure.

Feature bottles with stickers

    Affix each sticker to the appropriate feature bottle to make the labels.
    Place the 4 feature bottles in the fair slots like you normally do with the feature tokens.

Wooden Tourist Meeples

    Use a number of Tourists equal to the number of Cellars you have in the game.
    Make a Tourist pool next to the Enologists and Farmers.
    Place the Hire Enologists/Farmers/Tourists Action tile covering the Enologists Action space of the Quadrel, with the side matching the gameboard version face-up. Look for the version you are playing printed on the tile.


Fluxo do Jogo

Ações e Como Jogar
Buying a Winery
When you buy a Winery, follow the usual rules, but place the wooden Winery on the Estate slot instead of the Winery tile (or use both).
Buying a Douro Vineyard
When you buy a Douro Vineyard, take two bottles of Porto wine instead of the tiles.
Hire Enologists/Farmers/Tourists Action
Take the new Hire Enologists/Farmers/Tourists Action to bring Tourists to your Estates.

    Each Tourist costs 2 bagos.
    Tourists can visit anyplace of your Estates (even the empty ones), but they don’t have any effect on the wine unless they are visiting a Cellar.
    Tourists may move to Cellars when they arrive in the Estate, and at the beginning of the Production phase, just like Farmers and Enologists.
    When a Tourist is in a Cellar, it increases the Wine Value by 1 for any Wines taken from that Cellar.
    Each Cellar can only hold 1 Tourist.


Fim de Jogo e Pontuação

Dicas para Vencer

    Using wooden Wineries makes it easier for you to see at a glance how many Wineries other players have.
    Utilize Tourists strategically by placing them in Cellars to increase the Wine Value of your Wines. Remember each Cellar can only hold one Tourist.
