About our wine tastings
Vida vinho means the life of wine. It is the project of Petra Bakker, and experienced, certified wine teacher from the Netherlands that is specialised in Portuguese wines.
With our tastings we aim to introduce the international audience to the exceptional wines that Portugal has to offer. Many expats and tourist struggle to navigate in wine stores and on wine lists. Often looking for familiar international grape varieties like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. While many Portuguese wines are made from unique Portuguese grapes such as Touriga Nacional and Arinto, originating in distinct wine regions like Dão and Bairrada.
Our speciality is to ´translate´ the Portuguese wines to an international audience. So that you understand the context of what you are tasting, enriching the experience of tasting the beautiful Portuguese wines. Our tastings are set up like workshops, with a balance of education and fun. After all, we drink wine to have a good time and it is all about enjoying the experience together.
Most of our wine tastings are organised on a location in the heart of Cascais and are open to join for everyone.
For private groups or corporate events we customise the content of the tastings to the occasion and the group. We have acces to several locations in Lisbon and Cascais.
