My two big passion are wine and winery and walking by foot cos I can find hidden spots and discover city. Actually I’m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and now I’m living past few months in Lisbon.

Wine and winery here… Well, you need to know Estremadura region was renamed as Lisbon in 2009 and this is the heart and soul of the Portuguese winemaking industry. This wine region is well known for producing large quantities of deliciously flavoured Portuguese wines made mostly by local wine cooperatives. Traditionally, these wines are sold in 1.5l or 3l flagons known by the locals as “Garrafoes”.

I reccomnd a trip to Lisbon to experience the local wines and the wine culture as “must to do” for wine lovers from anywhere in the world.
