Bio and Organic Wine Tasting with Food Pairing by a Local Wine Producer

Discover Portuguese biodynamic wines through the eyes of a biologist turned vintner and cultural guide.


This organic wine tasting in Lisbon brings together science, tradition, and gastronomy in a single intimate session led by a wine producer with deep roots in Portuguese culture. Guided by a biologist who transitioned into winemaking, the experience bridges academic knowledge with hands-on production insight. Expect an honest, story-driven journey through Portugal's most expressive natural wines.

Your host has spent over five years producing bio and organic wines and brings a naturalist's precision to every tasting. Each wine selected reflects the terroir, climate, and native grape varieties that define the Portuguese winemaking identity. The session moves at a relaxed pace, with space for questions, context, and genuine conversation.

Food pairing is an integral part of the session, not an afterthought. Carefully chosen accompaniments are selected to complement and contrast each wine, illuminating the logic behind traditional Portuguese food culture. This is less a formal class and more a curated dialogue between producer and guest.

Your host is also writing a guidebook about Lisbon drawn from years of living and writing about the city, and select insights from that ongoing project are woven into the conversation. The result is a tasting that feels personal, well-researched, and rooted in genuine local knowledge.
