Trip to Porto & the Douro (11-12 Oct 2024)

Trip to Porto & the Douro (11-12 Oct 2024)

Matriarca is organising a very special and exclusive visit to Porto & the Douro in October. During this trip, you'll be able to experience our home, alongside with our community in Portugal.

We would like to highlight that this event includes dinner at the British Factory House, which will be a once in a lifetime experience. 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.
