Meet Teresa

Teresa started her wine and beverage career in a Port wine shop in Sintra and has been involved in the wine industry since 2007. She is now an independent sommelier and wine educator as well as an active ambassador of Portuguese wines. Teresa is extremely passionate and enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge with everyone who is interested in the world of Portuguese wine. Through this unique wine experience, Teresa will link the technical world of wine to the pleasure of its taste and aroma, combined with a Portuguese cheese and charcuterie - giving you a chance to experience Portuguese culture and tradition at her dining table! At the end, a crash course about Port wine is also included while you will enjoy a glass of a Tawny 10 Year Old Port.

In Teresa's words, “I am so excited and looking forward to start opening the bottles and sharing my passion with international guests.”

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.

Food tour: (1-6 guests) Join Teresa in her home for a wine tasting class in Lisbon. Teresa lives a little outside of Lisbon’s central tourist center, but still very close to the Avenida da Liberdade fashion shopping neighborhood. Her apartment is simple and modern, with tasteful decorations which also reflects Teresa’s character. During your 2 hour wine class, learn about Portugal’s wine regions and its history while enjoying some of the country’s best wines. Its an informal setting, where Teresa takes you through the Portuguese wine regions and the grape varieties in an easily approachable way, whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Teresa will tell you about wine making, oak aging methods and cork production. You will eat grapes to better understand the components of wine. She will also share wine tasting techniques, vocabulary and tricks, that will help you become an expert wine taster. You are also going to taste wines from five different Portuguese wine regions, both white and reds.

At the end, you will discuss the food pairing techniques while Teresa serves a charcuterie platter with cheese, breads and homemade jam. You also will take home gifts, an easy to use wine guide about Portuguese wines and the second, that will be a surprise!

Notes: This experience is for people who are above 18 years of age

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!
