KEYNOTE SPEAKER

sandra tavares da silva

We are thrilled to introduce our Keynote Speaker for the Women in Wine Expo 2024: Sandra Tavares da Silva.

With Sandra and her philosophy behind her wines, we found the perfect alignment with our theme for this year: Wine & Soul. To put it in Sandra’s own words:

“Wine is a magic product because it is very social and brings people together, giving a lot of feelings and emotions. For me, it’s so rewarding to share the wines I make. Every vineyard is a unique treasure. Our old Douro vines are authentic and have many personalities. The valleys here have enormous diversity in grape varieties – we can have 30 to 40 different ones in one plot – other exposures, altitudes, and variations of soils.”

Read the incredible bio of this pioneer (in 2020 Jancis Robinson mentioned her in the Financial Times as one of the most notable winemakers and – not a small detail: she was a volleyball player with the Portuguese national team!).

Don’t miss the chance to meet this incredible winemaker and taste her wines at the Women in Wine Expo in Porto!
