Rita and Paulo’s wedding took place among lush terraced vineyards and the serene shimmer of the river. The intimate ceremony was held at an old wine estate, adorned with olive branches and wildflowers, framed by a stunning sunset. After a private boat ride with close family and friends, guests were welcomed into a candlelit courtyard where they enjoyed a signature menu paired with wines from the estate’s own terroir. Every detail — from the string trio that accompanied the couple’s entrance to the cake served beneath a sky full of lanterns — was planned to reflect the Douro’s authenticity and the couple’s unique bond.
