Trip to Porto & the Douro

We are delighted to invite you for a very special and exclusive visit to Porto & the Douro, where you will experience our home in a unique way, enjoy great food and wine, and get to meet our Matriarca community in Portugal.

 

The visit will take place from Friday 11th to Saturday 12th October - we ask you to organise your flights & accommodation in Porto and we will take care of the rest:
Friday 11th October
Matriarca members arrive in Porto in their own time.
19:00 - Tour, drinks & dinner at the historic
British Factory House in downtown Porto

Originally founded as a British merchants association in Porto in 1666, today the Factory House is a private club of the British-owned port houses in a building steeped in history that dates back to the 18th century.

Beyond your flights and accommodation, there is no additional cost for the visit which will include a special dinner at the Factory House and lunch at our restaurant at Quinta do Bomfim with Michelin-star chef Pedro Lemos, together with a great selection of our finest wines and ports along the way.

 

If you plan to stay in Porto on the Sunday, we can arrange a tour & tasting at either the Graham’s Port Lodge or Cockburn’s Port Lodge across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia.

 

As always, we would be delighted if you would like to bring a plus one on the visit. Please could you RSVP by 11th August.

 

We're really looking forward to welcoming you out here in Portugal!
