From 16 to 18 May, Lisbon’s exquisite Torel Palace transforms into a haven for wine lovers, food aficionados, and cultural connoisseurs with the return of Vinho da Casa 2025. This three-day “House Wine 2025” gathering—more an elegant party than a traditional wine fair—invites guests to sip, savor, and explore the best of Portugal’s wine culture in an intimate and highly-curated setting. With over 100 wines from 20 top producers, plus dazzling performances, gourmet pairings, and exclusive experiences, this edition promises to be nothing short of unforgettable.
The Tasting Salon
Every day, guests will enjoy two and a half hours of free-flow tasting featuring 100 remarkable wines, presented by the producers and winemakers themselves. It’s a rare opportunity to engage directly with the minds behind the labels—hearing their stories, understanding their philosophies, and tasting the results of their craft firsthand. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply a curious oenophile, this setting offers unparalleled access and insight.
Pocket Shows: Art Meets Wine in Unexpected Ways
At Vinho da Casa, wine is just the beginning. Expect the unexpected with Pocket Shows—impromptu performances that blend winemaking with the arts in delightful, often surprising ways. These intimate moments shine a spotlight on the lesser-known talents of winemakers and producers.
From an “Improvised Pairing” between Jamie Goode and Daniel Niepoort—where guitar and bottle duel in sensory harmony—to a sultry tango performance by Mário Sérgio and Ana Madail (Quinta das Bágeiras), these shows promise to enchant and surprise. Music lovers will also enjoy a live concert by Carlos Agrellos (Quinta do Noval), blending sound with exceptional sips.
Gastronomic Indulgence: Dinner by Portugal’s Most-Starred Chef
Michelin-starred chef Vítor Matos takes center stage in the gastronomic program, offering standing dinners that elevate wine pairing to new heights. On May 16, he partners with Quinta da Vacaria, while the following evenings feature selections from other participating producers. Expect thoughtfully designed dishes, flawless pairings, and a convivial yet elegant atmosphere—ideal for mingling and savoring.
Workshops: Rare Access to Wine Legends
For guests craving hands-on experiences, two standout workshops dive into the art of wine blending:
- “How to Create a Port Wine Blend” with Luís Sottomayor (Barca Velha)
- “How to Finalize an Alentejo Wine Blend” with Pedro Baptista (Pêra Manca)
Each workshop is limited to just 20 participants and requires advance registration—making them true insider opportunities for those passionate about Portuguese wine.
And for something truly unique? There’s even a workshop on how to make a Panama hat, led by Rui Maraus and Francisca Van Zeller.
Masterclasses: The Crown Jewel of the Program
If there is one experience not to be missed, it’s the Masterclasses—elegant, intimate sessions designed for those with a thirst for deeper understanding. With only 14 seats available per class, these are the most exclusive moments of the event—and they come with an additional cost, ensuring a truly private and tailored experience.
Led by top-tier experts, the sessions include:
- Dirceu Vianna Junior MW – “Old Vines from Old Wines”
- Jamie Goode – “The Diversity of Portuguese Wines in 7 Bottles”
- Manuel Carvalho – “Portugal: One Identity, Different Styles”
These sessions blend academic insight with practical tasting, offering participants a profound appreciation for the nuances, history, and innovation within Portugal’s wine landscape.
Entrance to Vinho da Casa + Masterclass is €345.
Culinary Theater: Show Cookings with Wine Stars
Interactive and delectable, the Show Cookings bring together chefs, winemakers, and food lovers in a series of live sessions hosted by Miguel Pires (Mesa Marcada). Expect names like Sandra Tavares (Wine&Soul), Maria Melo (MasterChef), and Maria João Pato (Luís Pato) to serve up conversation and cuisine in equal measure.
Adriana Calcanhotto Live: An Elegant Finale
The event crescendos with a special performance by Brazilian icon Adriana Calcanhotto on May 18. Her poetic voice and refined melodies are the perfect finale to a weekend celebrating sensuality, creativity, and expression—just like the wines poured throughout the event.
The Vinho da Casa Store: Take the Experience Home
Open daily from 15:00 to 22:30, the Vinho da Casa Store—curated by Garrafeira Imperial—offers attendees the chance to purchase exclusive wines and event-only products. It’s the perfect way to extend the magic beyond the Torel Palace grounds.
Vinho da Casa 2025 is more than a celebration of wine. It’s a multisensory experience crafted for those who appreciate the finer things in life—where every glass poured tells a story, every bite savored creates a memory, and every performance leaves a lasting impression.
