How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 8 months in advance for group trips, and 6+ months for private or milestone trips to ensure hotel and experience availability.

Can I customize my trip?

100%. Whether it's swapping a tour for spa credits, adding wine tastings, or upgrading your hotel, every trip can be personalized to your preferences.

What's the difference between booking a group vs. private trip?

A group trip means you'll travel with like-minded guests on preset dates, while a private trip is fully tailored—your dates, your hotel, your tours, your vibe. Both options offer our signature service and elevated feel.

Are flights included?

Flights are not included by default. We can provide flight booking support upon request.

Can I pay in installments?

A private trip is quoted for your group, and the payment plan is set with you when we plan it together. Nothing is paid to join the waitlist.

What's your cancellation policy?

All trip payments are non-refundable after 24 hours. We strongly recommend travel insurance with Cancel for Any Reason coverage to protect your investment.

Where You'll Stay

Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa

A Leading Hotel of the World, the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa reigns as one of Lisbon's most prestigious addresses. This grand five-star property blends old-world Portuguese elegance with contemporary luxury, featuring refined accommodations, a legendary rooftop bar with panoramic city views, and an award-winning spa. Located on Lisbon's most elegant boulevard, it's the perfect base for exploring the city's rich culture and vibrant dining scene.

The Rebello, Porto

In the heart of Porto's historic Vila Nova de Gaia, The Rebello is contemporary luxury woven into a restored nineteenth-century port wine warehouse. Soaring ceilings and original stone walls in every room and suite, interiors that honour Porto's wine heritage, an infinity pool looking over the Douro, a wellness centre, and a restaurant that celebrates regional Portuguese cooking.

Day 01Dinner

Touch Down in Lisbon—Afro-Lisbon Stories & an Angolan Table

Touch down in Lisbon, where you are met at the airport and driven to the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade, one of the city's grandest addresses. By late afternoon you are walking: an exclusive guided tour of Lisbon's African heritage, from the pioneering Black women of Avenida da Liberdade to the Moorish palace of Casa do Alentejo, a glass of ginginha at Largo de São Domingos and the Church of the Black Brotherhood, and the Black women entrepreneurs of Rossio Square. Dinner is at Casa de Angola: Angolan-Portuguese fusion, moamba chicken and fish calulu, with wine.

Lisbon, Your Way—Then a Modern Portuguese Table

A slow breakfast at the hotel, then the day is yours. If you want it, a morning of shopping and a private wine tasting in Lisbon led by our wine expert is on offer as an optional experience. Tonight the group gathers again for a multi-course dinner at Taberna Moderna, one of our favourite local spots for a modern twist on Portuguese cooking, with expertly paired wines throughout.

Wine Country Dreams—Two Quintas and a Rooftop

Out of the city to Quinta de Chocapalha near Óbidos, where wine has been made since the sixteenth century and Sandra Tavares, one of Portugal's leading women winemakers, sets the pace: a premium tasting and a paired lunch at the estate, then time in the winery shop. The afternoon is Quinta de Sant'Ana at Gradil, recently converted to organic viticulture, for a six-wine tasting with gourmet tapas. Back in Lisbon, dinner at SEEN, the rooftop with the panoramic view.

North to Porto—First Class, Then Dinner at Home

Bags go down to the driver after breakfast, and at Oriente station you board the first-class fast train to Porto: the Portuguese countryside, Coimbra, and a stretch of Atlantic coast before the city. Your driver meets you at the station. Check in at The Rebello in Vila Nova de Gaia, a restored nineteenth-century port wine warehouse turned boutique hotel, with an infinity pool over the Douro. Tonight's dinner is hosted at the hotel's Pot & Pan restaurant.
