Women in wine Expo: discovering wine together

Whether you're just dipping your toe into the world of winemaking or you’ve made career in the wine business, we believe that traveling and experiencing wine regions yourself, will add value to your future career. That’s why the Women in Wine Expo is like a roadshow. The first WIWE-participants came to the Netherlands and Belgium, then we traveled to Georgia, the cradle of wine, just to meet again a year later in London and Kent. This year we chose for a great wine city to have our fourth annual Women in Wine Expo:

PORTO!

THE REBELLO

Situated on Gaia´s banks of the river, The Rebello is the perfect place to explore the home of Port Wine. A unique hotel built within the solid stonework of the UNESCO warehouses that raised Porto. Revel in the unrivalled views across the Douro to Porto’s historic centre before exploring on foot past the grand port lodges and across the Dom Luís I Bridge.

In addition to Bello Rooftop, where you can enjoy artisanal pizza or “petiscos” while taking in a spectacular view of the Douro River and Dom Luís I Bridge, there is also Pot&Pan, which offers tapas-style dishes to share with a twist on traditional Portuguese & international cuisine. Chef André Coutinho is in charge of Pot&Pan and Bello Rooftop, he’s known for his bold approach to national dishes, using contemporary techniques with a focus on the freshest local ingredients.

The hotel also features a spa & wellness area inspired by Ancient Roman baths, features a Tranquility water lounge, sauna and a top of the line gym. A reinvigorating space where body, mind and soul can become reconnected. The Rebello features 103 artfully decorated suites that range from spacious studios to three-bedroom duplex, you can expect surprising design touches at every turn, all inspired by an industrial chic feel. Luxury reimagined for today with fully fitted kitchens and ample space to live and relax.

wow: the world of wine

We will kick off our 3-day event with a glass of delicious (port) wines in this area, the historic heart of Vila Nova de Gaia. This small city is just a short distance from the centre of Porto, and the Douro River. The cultural district WOW is a celebration of Portugal, its rich culture, history and industry to explore.

WOW was born from the renovation of old port wine cellars, which were transformed to create an entire district which is home to museums, restaurants, bars, shops, a wine school and a gallery for exhibitions. It’s here where we will bring our worlds of knowledge, have fun and create unforgettable experiences together.
