As a non-Portugese it is sometimes hard to choose a wine in a restaurant or shop. The grape varieties are local, the producers and wine regions are not so familiar. No Chardonnay and Merlot, but Arinto and Touriga. How to choose?

Every month I give a tasting called Portuguese Wine Discovery. A workshop style wine tasting about Portuguese wines. Focussed on learning about the basics of Portuguese wines from an international perspective. You will get to know and taste the most important regions and their local grapes, compared to internationally known wines.
So if you like chardonnay, but have hard time finding something comparable here? This is your opportunity to find out.

This is aimed at wine lovers, not connaisseurs. No wine-knowledge is needed, just liking wine is enough. The tasting is english spoken and caters mainly to expats and tourists, however: Most Portuguese customers we had loved it and learned a lot too.

The tasting is guided by an experienced wine teacher and includes hand-out materials.
