Portugal, planned by a dual citizen who actually knows it.
Lisbon's neighborhoods, Porto's cellars, the Douro Valley's terraced vineyards — this isn't a country I researched for clients. It's mine. I plan trips built around the table, with the real local insight only comes from actually living it.
Start Planning My Portugal Trip →Three regions, one country, endless reasons to go
Douro Valley
Terraced vineyards along the river, private port-wine tastings, and stays at working quintas — the birthplace of port, done as a local would.
Lisbon
Neighborhood by neighborhood — the real miradouros, the family-run tascas, the wine bars that never make the tourist lists.
Porto
Cellar tours along the Douro riverfront, francesinha done properly, and port lodges most visitors never get access to.
Food & wine trips beyond Portugal, by request
Portugal is where I lead — but I plan curated culinary escapes anywhere the table takes you.
Other Wine Country
Private tastings, cellar tours, and stays at working wineries — domestic and international, by request.
Cruise + Culinary Add-Ons
Pair a Virgin Voyages sailing with a pre- or post-cruise food & wine extension in the embarkation city.
Celebration Trips
Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and engagement trips — planned around a meal worth remembering.
Add a Virgin Voyages leg, and the table keeps going
A lot of Portugal clients extend the trip with a Virgin Voyages sailing before or after — the dining scene on board is half the reason it's an easy yes.
Custom trips, not templates.
Food & wine tourism isn't a one-size-fits-all product — every trip starts with a conversation about what you actually want to eat, drink, and experience. From there, I build a full itinerary: flights, stays, reservations, and the local knowledge to make it feel effortless.

Many food & wine clients extend a Virgin Voyages cruise with a land trip before or after. Ask about combining the two.
