Top highlight of our time in Lisbon. - I highly recommend the Portuguese Wine and Food Experiences through Enrico and Sip Wine Tours. My family of eight adults thoroughly enjoyed his 3-hour Walking Food and Wine tour. We visited three small, family-run restaurants during the tour. Each venue had amazing food prepared and ready to serve as we arrived, along with several fantastic wine pairings at each place. (During the tour booking process, Enrico even ensured that each venue prepared one gluten-free and one vegetarian dish to accommodate two of our family members). Enrico took great care in explaining each dish and thoroughly described the various wine pairings. Throughout the night, we had entertaining conversations with Enrico on wine, food, culture, and history. Enrico is passionate about food, wine, and Lisbon, and loves to impart that passion to his guests. He has a breadth of knowledge that he gladly shared throughout the evening, along with his engaging personal stories. By the end of the evening, not only did we have a very memorable experience, but I felt like we gained a new friend in Enrico. This tour was one of the top highlights of our week in Portugal.

Incredible and unforgettable experience! - Enrico provided an exceptional wine tour experience for my family's inaugural visit to Portugal. His meticulous attention to detail and extensive knowledge of various wines truly elevated the overall experience. The tour was both educational and enjoyable, thanks to Enrico's expertise. Additionally, our dinner at Murahala restaurant was fantastic, with impeccable service. The surprise Fado performance added an unforgettable touch, making it a night to remember. Enrico's tour exceeded our expectations, leaving us with lasting memories of Portugal's wine culture and hospitality.

Highlight of our Lisbon visit- Enrico knows his food and wine- experience like a local. - The highlight of our visit to Lisbon was experiencing this food and wine tour with our educated guide Enrico. We were paired with one other couple from the US who became quick friends with our shared passion for food and wine. We met at the oldest restaurant in Lisbon right off the main city square. Enrico sent advanced text making it easy to connect in our meeting spot. He brought two bottles of white wine for us to taste along with some appetizers at the restaurant at our private outdoor table. From there, we walked into a charming local neighborhood we would have never found on our own. Enrico clearly knew the owners, and from there, he opened 3 bottles of stellar red wines and they began bringing plates of Portuguese cuisine for us to sample. It was more food and wine than the four of us could finish. We shared laughs and life stories about travel/food/wine from our travels around the world. The evening ended with our 87-year-old maker (in pictures) who had us sample her homemade Ginjinha (a Portuguese liqueur made by infusing ginja berries in alcohol). She served them in eatable chocolate shot cups. What an experience, and unexpectedly delicious. Thank you, Enrico, for making the connection with Kelen and Marcelo who live in NJ. We had so much fun our evening with you, we reconnected in Porto for another two dinners together. Your recommendation of Manels was the highlight of our culinary dinners in Porto. This tour is worth every penny and more. Please support Enrico by booking this tour as you will not be disappointed. He speaks fluent English, and you will experience Lisbon like a local. Thank you, Enrico, for being the highlight of our trip to Lisbon!

Glimpse of sip food and wine tour - My husband and I had the best time on this tour with Enrico. Enrico is extremely knowledgeable about wine culture, as well as the history of Lisbon. My husband doesn’t drink alcohol, so Enrico made sure there were non alcoholic options for him, and he even adjusted the price accordingly. He was more than satisfied with all the delicious food offered to us. We ended up hanging out long after the tour would’ve ended because we were just having such a great time! I very highly recommend this tour with Enrico! Thanks for everything!
