The event

Wine & Travel Week returns to Porto for its 5th edition, bringing premium wine tourism suppliers and luxury travel buyers together in Portugal.

Wine takes centre stage in a curated programme on hospitality and travel design: pre-scheduled B2B meetings, post tours around Portugal and, as the grand finale, Essência do Vinho at the Palácio da Bolsa.

  • Recognition

    With the endorsement of Turismo de Portugal, the Great Wine Capitals Global Network as strategic partner and the backing of the Porto Municipality.

  • Curated buyers

    Buyers are selected, not counted: travel designers and buyers from key source markets, with real purchasing power.

  • The grand finale

    The week ends at Essência do Vinho, in the Palácio da Bolsa: from business meetings and post tours to a wine event open to the public.
