Women & Wine Gathering (8 days, 7 nights)

Join me for a week in Portugal's interior, where we'll gather around a table to savor the food, wine, and culture at the unique crossroads of Spanish and Portuguese influences along the historic "smuggler's route". We'll stay in a charming guesthouse overlooking the hilltop fortress of Marvão, featuring cozy two-bedroom apartments, a lovely terrace, and an on-site natural wine bar and restaurant.

We'll explore local wineries, tour vineyards and olive groves, meet winemakers dedicated to low-intervention, sustainable wines, and enjoy modern interpretations of traditional Iberian cuisine. From elaborate multi-course meals in Michelin-starred restaurants to casual and lively Portuguese taverns, we'll taste some of the best this region has to offer. Each day will bring a new food and wine experience as we explore the area, learn about its history and culture, and appreciate the serene beauty of the natural park setting.
