A Message from the Fellows

Now that you are a Fellow, you are one of us. Welcome!

We are Rui and João, the Portuguese Wine Fellows and we are the ones who have the hard task of tasting and selecting the best Portuguese wines and bringing them to your table.

We hope you take this opportunity to learn more about wine and, of course, enjoy the little bits of Portugal we’ll be sending through our monthly wine box.

Take your time to explore and please let us know if you have any doubts.

Cheers,

João & Rui.

Love it, Share it
