Wine & Stories of Portugal: Ancient Talha Wine & Dinner Experience
Hosted by Taverna das Marias | Lisbon
Step inside Taverna das Marias for one of Lisbon’s most authentic and intimate gastronomic evenings. Discover Portugal’s richest culinary heritage through its most extraordinary tradition: Vinho de Talha (Amphora Wine).
Inspired by the warmth of Portuguese hospitality and the legendary spirit of Maria Severa, this experience invites you to slow down, share a table, and taste history.
Discover a 2,000-Year-Old Roman Tradition Guided by expert Sommelier Márcia Farinha, you’ll journey into the world of José Piteira Talha Wines—handcrafted in Alentejo using the exact clay amphora methods brought by the Romans over two millennia ago. Márcia will uncover the secrets of this ancient technique, explaining how clay vessels create wines with unmatched minerality, freshness, and character. More than a tasting, this is a night of storytelling: learn the inspiration behind our taverna, the roots of traditional Portuguese gastronomy, and why every single dish was chosen to pair with these historic wines.
