If you chose Portugal for your destination wedding, for sure you are already surrendered to the thousand and one charms of this magnificent country. So it makes perfect sense for your guests to see the country through your eyes and return with a little bit of Portugal in them.
In this article we share 3 ideas to make Portugal known to your guests:
1 – EAT AND CRY FOR MORE – Whether you prefer sweets or salty dishes, Portugal has all the good and the best, make sure your guests come back with a full belly or even come back with a box of custard tarts in their suitcase! If your wedding is going to be in the Porto area, take the opportunity to take them to lunch for a francesinha or even a cod. If you’re in the south of the country, you can’t leave without eating a good grilled fish!
2 – MUSIC FOR YOUR EARS – In Portugal we are proud to have a vast diversity of musical genres characteristic of our country. Take advantage of the night before your wedding to have dinner in a restaurant with live Fado performances, or stroll through the center of Porto or Coimbra during the day and you will almost certainly come across a Academic Tuna! If you prefer, present your guests with the unlikely presence of a folkloric ranch during the cocktail on the wedding day and take the opportunity to get your feet off the ground!
3- FILL YOUR GLASS WITH GOOD PORTUGUESE WINE – No wonder we are known as joyous people! Do you know what the reason is? We have a very strong wine culture, and if you are in the Douro or Alentejo region, try a wine tasting together with your guests, or even a visit to the cellars where they are produced, or even to the Quinta where the grapes win. life!
