We’re doing things our way: intimate, beautiful, and a little unexpected. The evening begins with a vow exchange surrounded by our closest people, followed by dinner featuring elevated Portuguese dishes, good conversation, and plenty of wine. Toasts are open to anyone who wants to raise a glass. After dinner, we’ll take a stroll through the town, stopping at a few spontaneous spots for drinks, more laughter, and plenty of good times.

We’re heading to the Douro Valley for a day of vineyards, wine tastings, a scenic boat ride, and a leisurely lunch by the river. The day includes private transportation with hotel pick-up and drop-off, two vineyard tours and tastings, a boat tour, lunch, and a few sightseeing stops along the way. Pack an umbrella just in case. The Douro is beautiful rain or shine, but wine tastes better dry.
