About Event

In winemaking, terroir refers to how climate, soil, terrain, and tradition impact a wine's expression. It is how these elements influence a wine's flavour, aromas, and other characteristics. It is a sense of place, or "somewhereness."

We, too, are influenced by our environment, internally and externally. How we express ourselves, our characteristics, are a result of these elements. We have our own personal terroir. Just like wines, our full, authentic selves thrive under certain conditions.

Join us for a unique, full-day experience blending culinary delights, fine wine, and personal discovery. (Limited early bird spots until the 11th of April!)

Explore Portuguese wines, enjoy a Portuguese-influenced three-course lunch, and learn to map your own personal terroir. You will leave with the insights and tools for creating conditions to be the best expression of your true self.
