Wine & Books Club

At Wine & Books Hotels, we aim to take Portuguese culture beyond borders.  Wine and literature are part of our identity, history, and purpose. It’s that tradition and essence of Portugal that we want to share with this community of readers.

In this online wine and book club, we invite you to discover each month Portuguese literature, while savoring, alone or accompanied, the words of our authors and the finest wines of the country. Here you will have the opportunity to delve into various literary genres, explore captivating stories, discuss themes, and share your visions.
