Description

Treat your loved one to a unique moment with a stunning view of the vineyard and the Monchique Mountain in the Lagoa area.

Enjoy a private, carefully prepared picnic featuring the authentic flavours of the Algarve. This outdoor experience includes a selection of regional products such as cheese, cured meats or ham, fresh bread, dried fruits, salads, seafood, and local pastries. Pair this gastronomic experience with a fine regional wine, or if you prefer, a refreshing natural juice.

Your journey can start with an optional private pick-up, followed by a guided tour of the vineyard, offering an introduction to the winemaking at this estate.

Upon arrival at the chosen spot, you’ll be welcomed to a picnic table or blanket, and if weather conditions allow, under a romantic tipi.

The delicious tapas prepared especially for you will be waiting, along with a bottle of wine from the local winery. You’ll also have the option to choose a natural juice instead of wine.

A brief explanation of each dish will be provided, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy this private moment.

We offer vegan and vegetarian options to ensure every detail of the experience is tailored to your preferences.

Additionally, we provide the opportunity to further customise your dream event with extras such as music for the journey, flowers, champagne, a photo session, and other personalised touches, all priced according to your choices.
