Meet Teresa

Teresa welcomes guests into her home to discover Portuguese wines the way locals enjoy them - around the table, with delicious food, engaging conversation, and genuine hospitality. A passionate sommelier and wine educator, Teresa has spent more than two decades helping people better understand and appreciate Portugal's rich wine culture. As guests taste carefully selected wines paired with traditional Portuguese flavors, she shares the stories, customs, and traditions that makes Portugal one of the world's most fascinating wine destinations.

Teresa began her career in wine in 1997 in her hometown of Sintra. She earned her sommelier certification in 2001 and has worked as a wine educator since 2004. In 2017, she was named Portuguese Sommelier of the Year and now works independently as a wine educator and ambassador for Portuguese wines. She is also a Certified Port Educator and a proud member of the Confraria do Vinho do Porto and the Confraria dos Vinhos do Douro.

Teresa's goal is simple: to make every guest feel less like a visitor and more like a friend discovering Portugal through its wines, food, and culture.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Wine & Food Pairing: (1-4 guests) Private wine and food experience created by Portuguese Sommelier of the Year 2017, Teresa, in her home in Lisbon. More than a wine tasting, this is an invitation to experience Portuguese hospitality in the home of a local wine expert. In a relaxed and welcoming setting, Teresa shares her passion for Portuguese wines, culture and traditions, showing how wine has always been an essential part of life around the Portuguese table.

During this private experience, you will taste premium Portuguese wines carefully selected to represent different regions and styles. Rather than focusing on technical wine knowledge, you will discover how Portuguese wines are traditionally enjoyed with food while learning the simple principles of food and wine pairing. Your wines will be paired with a selection of cold Portuguese delicacies, including Portuguese cheeses, charcuterie, a seasonal savory bite "petisco", wood-fired bread and a homemade dessert. Together, these flavors demonstrate how the right pairing can transform the character of each wine.

Whether you are new to wine or already an enthusiast, this experience is designed to be relaxed, personal and interactive, encouraging conversation, questions and the pleasure of sharing good wine around the table. And, as with any visit to a Portuguese home, you won't leave empty-handed.

Notes: This experience is recommended for guests 18+

Languages spoken: English, Portuguese

PERSONALLY VETTED REVIEW
A Traveling Spoon ambassador visited this host. Here is their personal review.

Teresa is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly to talk to and her wine class is one of the best I’ve ever been to! She understands the difference between Portuguese wines and wines from other countries, and contextualizes it in a fun and interactive way. My favorite culinary memory from the experience was trying the Alvarhino, a white wine typical of vino verde region. It was crisp and refreshing, great for the summer heat and also goes really well with food. It was also the most memorable since Teresa corrected some previous misunderstandings I ha​​d about Vino Verde. We enjoyed Teresa’s workshop thoroughly, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about Portuguese food and wine culture!
