To say that Portugal is gorgeous is an understatement. From the hand-made mosaic patterned streets of Lisbon, to the ancient Moorish ruins in Sintra, and the UNESCO wine region of Porto and the Douro Valley, you will not find nicer people and more delicious food. We’ll eat and drink in the bounty. Portugal keeps much of its wine, rich cheeses, luscious charcuterie, olive oil, produce and seafood to itself. The majority of it never leaves the country, so one must go there to taste all of it. It's the epitome of local, farm-to-table culinary and authentic experiences. The birthplace of Port and pastel de nata, all served up in ancient settings. Nowhere else have we tasted the cheeses, sausages and dishes that Portugal offers.
