Fireside Portugal
A Winter Wine Gathering
An evening inspired by winter in Portugal — a season of community, gathering, warmth, and shared bottles around the table.
When the nights grow long and cold, wine becomes less about tasting notes and more about connection. Bottles are opened generously, conversations linger, and the table becomes the center of the evening. Fireside Portugal is designed to reflect that tradition.
This is not a formal tasting or technical class. It’s a relaxed, unhurried gathering shaped by storytelling, shared space, and the way Portuguese wine naturally fits into winter living.

What to Expect
Fireside Portugal is intentionally unhurried. There are no scorecards, no rushed pours, and no pressure to analyze.
In a time when many people are choosing to drink less but better, this evening is about drinking with purpose — gathering, sharing, and letting wine do what it has always done best: bring people together.
