Amazing man!! Full of knowledge on the wine, food, history and the culture. He even worked in a visit to a local artist. As a local wine maker, he was a breath of fresh air and was able to give us a local experience rather than a commercialized tour!

Enrico provided a wonderful and informative tour. He brought us to places that we never would have found on our own. The personalized experience included going into a private room where he an I played a little bit of music together. The food was excellent and the wine was great. His RICO wine was among our favorites. We felt like we made a friend while we were in Lisbon and learned a lot about the area. Highly recommended.
Enrico was very knowledgeable and brought us to several places that we never would have known about. He introduced us to new and fabulous food and wine and we felt like we made a friend in Lisbon. It was a great way to start our vacation. He made sure we knew where to meet, was right on time and clearly knew many partners in the city. We felt like insiders. We would highly recommend this tour.
Rico is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed all the fabulous food and wine! Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting Lisbon.
We had wonderful evening with Rico. We experienced great food and wine. We especially loved his own wine! He also told us interesting historical facts. Rico is so personable and made us instantly feel like old friends.
Rico delivered an amazing enogastronomic experience!! We tasted authentic traditional dishes, enjoyed excellent portoguese wines (the Porto Quinta do Noval Tawny was outstanding) and learned so much thanks to his impressive cultural and historical knowledge. Fun, engaging, and truly genuine, an unforgettable way to discover the real Lisbon. Very recommended!! :)
Rico was a fantastic host, we had the most amazing evening tasting great food & great wine. The second venue in particular was a perfect setting to see the night in and eat/drink whilst learning all about the history of wine. Rico spoke good English and could understand everything and would thoroughly recommend this to anyone, friends, family, business trip, etc. - no caps on amount of wine, port, food, etc. - honestly could not fault the experience at all.
I highly recommend Rico's food and wine tour. My husband and I got to experience food that we would not have tried otherwise because of Rico's knowledge of the best of the local food products, and the wine pairings were all perfect. He was very informative about the local history of Lisbon as a whole and Alfama in particular. We ended up the evening watching a Fado performance and having a glass of Ginja and dessert. Rio was very generous with his time, and it was like being out for an evening with a friend. He was also very considerate of our dietary requests. Don't miss this tour if you're spending any time in Lisbon!
Wonderful walking tour of Lisbon. Excellent food and great company with Rico. He was excellent about explaining where we were and the history of what we were seeing and eating. Couldn't recommend him any more! 5 star!!
I had such a great experience and felt so privileged to have a wine tour with an actual wine maker. Enrico is so talented and knowledgeable. He’s also very kind and patient. I would love to do more of his tours and would absolutely recommend this food and wine tour.
We had a wonderful evening with Rico! He shared some wines that he made himself! The dishes they were paired with were amazing. It was so interesting to see how the wine enhanced or changed the flavor of the food we shared. We had a nice walk through Lisbon to taste a few wines and have some amazing food. We started as strangers and left as family.
At first we had some difficulty with the meeting point, however Enrico was very patient and kind. Super knowledgeable as he is a wine maker himself, answered a barrage of questions, lol. Food was ok, could have been better. Thanks Enrico! Remember us when you are famous! D and P
A very pleasant experience! Enrico is very enthusiastic about his work and conveys a great passion for winemaking. Between stories, conversation, excellent food, and explanations about wine, we had a wonderful afternoon.
Our guide Enrico was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about Portuguese wine and food, the selections that he gave us were delicious. Highly recommended.
Being on a 3 months holiday through Europe, this tour will be one of the highlights, Enrico passion for wine is only matched by his passion for Portugal and food. Amazing wine and the venues were magical. Being French I thought I knew wine and wine making, but Enrico proved I am only a novice. This is the only wine and food tour you need to do in Lisbon.. The tour went over by over an hour, within 10 minutes being on the tour , you felt like you were going out with a friend. Thank you Enrico, it’s young men like you that gives me hope of our new generation.
We had an amazing time with Enrico - this was a highlight of our trip! Fantastic wine, food, & conversation, the tour exceeded our expectations!
This wine and food tour was the perfect way to start our trip. Rico was fantastic and provided a lot of information on the wines and authentic Portuguese cuisine. It’s a must do for people visiting Lisboa for the first time.
Enrico made it really fun to taste the wines and port of the region. We also tasted some of the local food specialties. Fun was had by the whole family.
So thankful we booked this tour! Enrico is incredibly charming and kind and intentional. We ate at the most charming places and had DELICIOUS wine….the evening was unpretentious, authentic and as Enrico would say “so precious”. You will not be disappointed.
Rico was authentic and full of information about wine, and we got to try his wine blend as well before the end of the evening!
This is a must do Tour for all wine and food lovers. Enrico has a fantastic knowledge of wines and took us to the best food we have tasted in Lisbon. What an amazing Tour.
This is a much do Tour for all wine and food lovers. Enrico is a fantastic Tour guide and his knowledge of the wine and food is remarkable. We absolutely loved this Tour.
This was a fantastic tour to gain knowledge on Portuguese wine. We were able to visit places off the beaten path that were great!
Enrico took my husband and I to multiple local bars to sample different wines and tapas. The food was amazing and so was the wine. With Enrico we learned about wine, local culture, and history. We also tried some of his own wine; to my surprise the orange wine blew my socks off. We drank, ate, laughed, and had a great time. Would definitely recommend and would go on this tour again. The only thing I wouldn't do again is follow this tour with an early tour next morning, lesson learned 😂.

We had so much fun. Enrico is so sweet, funny, and knowledgeable. He introduced us to delicious foods and wine, and I would do this tour over and over again.
We had a wonderful evening with our guide. It was our first night in Lisbon and he showed us some great food spots. We drank and ate wonderful and really made some great memories! Got a lot of great wine tips right from the winemaker him self!
If you’re looking to explore Portugal’s unique wine culture, the Sip Wine Tour in Lisbon with Enrico is a fantastic choice. We visited lovely restaurants, tasted delicious local foods and tried many great Portuguese wines. Enrico was very personable and his knowledge and passion about the wines and the city made it a fun and memorable experience. Perfect for wine lovers seeking an authentic taste of Portugal. Our favourite part of our visit to Lisbon.
Enrico offers a great perspective as he is a winemaker and very knowledgeable about food and wine. The venues he chose were excellent and we got a chance to taste his quality wine. We had a small group and the entire experience was well worth it.
Amazing 3 hrs, packed with information from Enrico who is warm, engaging and truly passionate about his vocation. Highly recommended.
Wow! This was fabulous! Such a highlight and so much better than i could have hoped for all because of my food limitations. ENRICO made it a TOP experience! He catered to our tastes. We we t to places we probably would never have discovered on our own. The food, the wine, the atmosphere, the storying and background all enhanced with stimulating conversation that made us feel like we discovered a new friend. Even the art studio stop along the way in Alfama all made for a very special and most enjoyable evening. Highly recommend this evening with Enrico. Don't hesitate, book it!
This was, hands down, our best tour during our time in Lisbon. Why? It’s not just a wine tour - it’s amazing wines, delicious local foods, an engaging host to add local culture and history…all set in establishments that share the love for wine/food/culture, and have been in business for generations. By the end of the night, Enrico was not just our tour guide but our friend. Book your tour now, you will not be sorry!
Authentic is the best way to describe our experience with Enrico. Could have talked for hours with him. Learned so much anout wine making and Portugal. Cant recommend enough!!
I highly recommend the Portuguese Wine and Food Experiences through Enrico and Sip Wine Tours. My family of eight adults thoroughly enjoyed his 3-hour Walking Food and Wine tour. We visited three small, family-run restaurants during the tour. Each venue had amazing food prepared and ready to serve as we arrived, along with several fantastic wine pairings at each place. (During the tour booking process, Enrico even ensured that each venue prepared one gluten-free and one vegetarian dish to accommodate two of our family members). Enrico took great care in explaining each dish and thoroughly described the various wine pairings. Throughout the night, we had entertaining conversations with Enrico on wine, food, culture, and history. Enrico is passionate about food, wine, and Lisbon, and loves to impart that passion to his guests. He has a breadth of knowledge that he gladly shared throughout the evening, along with his engaging personal stories. By the end of the evening, not only did we have a very memorable experience, but I felt like we gained a new friend in Enrico. This tour was one of the top highlights of our week in Portugal.
This was absolutely the best tour we had in Portugal! Enrico was incredible! He was knowledgeable, entertaining and the most fabulous host! The wine, the food, the stops we made! OmG! Please do not miss and I hope you meet up with Enrico! Every stop was great but the one with Armando at A Muralha was divine! The food, the wine, the company and music! Delicious! Don’t miss Enrico! Let him introduce you to Portugal!
Enrico provided an exceptional wine tour experience for my family's inaugural visit to Portugal. His meticulous attention to detail and extensive knowledge of various wines truly elevated the overall experience. The tour was both educational and enjoyable, thanks to Enrico's expertise. Additionally, our dinner at Murahala restaurant was fantastic, with impeccable service. The surprise Fado performance added an unforgettable touch, making it a night to remember. Enrico's tour exceeded our expectations, leaving us with lasting memories of Portugal's wine culture and hospitality.
The evening with Enrico was phantastic! He is such a dear host and guide. Great locations, food and wines. The variety made the difference and Enrico had all the answers. We had so much fun and a wonderful small group to be with. Would recommend 100%. To have the details and surprises you should experience it for yourselves. We enjoyed every moment!
The highlight of our visit to Lisbon was experiencing this food and wine tour with our educated guide Enrico. We were paired with one other couple from the US who became quick friends with our shared passion for food and wine. We met at the oldest restaurant in Lisbon right off the main city square. Enrico sent advanced text making it easy to connect in our meeting spot. He brought two bottles of white wine for us to taste along with some appetizers at the restaurant at our private outdoor table. From there, we walked into a charming local neighborhood we would have never found on our own. Enrico clearly knew the owners, and from there, he opened 3 bottles of stellar red wines and they began bringing plates of Portuguese cuisine for us to sample. It was more food and wine than the four of us could finish. We shared laughs and life stories about travel/food/wine from our travels around the world. The evening ended with our 87-year-old maker (in pictures) who had us sample her homemade Ginjinha (a Portuguese liqueur made by infusing ginja berries in alcohol). She served them in eatable chocolate shot cups. What an experience, and unexpectedly delicious. Thank you, Enrico, for making the connection with Kelen and Marcelo who live in NJ. We had so much fun our evening with you, we reconnected in Porto for another two dinners together. Your recommendation of Manels was the highlight of our culinary dinners in Porto. This tour is worth every penny and more. Please support Enrico by booking this tour as you will not be disappointed. He speaks fluent English, and you will experience Lisbon like a local. Thank you, Enrico, for being the highlight of our trip to Lisbon!
Enrico was lively and engaging. Had a wonderful time. The second stop was my favorite. Really enjoyed the experience..
Enrico was wonderful. Very personable, knowledgeable and we had a great small group. Highly recommend this tour!
My husband and I had the best time on this tour with Enrico. Enrico is extremely knowledgeable about wine culture, as well as the history of Lisbon. My husband doesn’t drink alcohol, so Enrico made sure there were non alcoholic options for him, and he even adjusted the price accordingly. He was more than satisfied with all the delicious food offered to us. We ended up hanging out long after the tour would’ve ended because we were just having such a great time! I very highly recommend this tour with Enrico! Thanks for everything!
We had a great time with Enrico. We didn’t have time in our schedule to visit any of the Portuguese wineries but we wanted to still taste a variety of wines so we did this tour with Enrico. He picked out great wines for us to taste and had great food pairings as well. He worked with the restaurants and avoided most seafood for us. Definitely a great experience in Lisbon.
This tour is MANDATORY for those wanting to get the full Lisbon experience. Rico was an incredible guide and I would highly recommend this tour!
Thank you Enrico (and Dana) for this lovely tour. We were amazed with the knowledge and passion for both Lisboa city and the wine you have Enrico. If you want to go to some hidden gem’s i highly recommend to do this tour.
Me and my girlfriend took the tour with Enrico - it was the peak of our week in Lisbon - learning so much about local culture through wine, food and local spots, and of course Enrico who is amazing at explaining everything and answering questions. We highly recommend!
Enrico is amazing! His knowledge of wines and of Portugal made for an incredible evening that we did not want to end! Can not wait to return for a more extensive tour with him! Do not hesitate to book this!
What fun! Enrico was the consummate host, adapting according to our questions and interests as we went along. His knowledge of the regional wines, their histories, and how they pair with foods is well-researched and thorough. He took us to a couple of beautiful venues we would never otherwise have discovered, and we met warm, engaging people along the way, who were more than willing to talk to us. My guess is that Enrico will happily adapt on the fly to the type of tour his guests want after he meets them, so we felt we had a truly special experience. Would definitely recommend a SIP Wine tour! Obrigada, Enrico! Cin-cin!
Wine and food tasting tour. Had an excellent tour with Enrico the guide who is a wine expert.we were group of 4 friends
We just returned from the most amazing trip to Lisbon. I want to highly recommend Sip Wine Tours. Enrico, the owner, provided a three-hour tour and included authentic spots in Lisbon that are popular with locals. We enjoyed exquisite Portuguese wine and traditional food while learning about the history and culture of the city. We enjoyed the experience for my daughter's 21st birthday. In the United States, the 21st birthday is a big celebration, and Enrico went above and beyond to ensure she had an incredible evening. If you are looking for a unique experience with personalized attention, stop scrolling and book today!
It’s hard to fully explain how wonderful our experience was. As we walked the town with Enrico, we very quickly felt the energy and excitement of Lisbon. It was great to have a confidante in whom we could trust and ask *any* questions. This tour is indispensable for visitors to Lisbon. We did similar tour in Porto (also great), and this tour emphasized the contrasts and similarities between the two food cultures. Bravo!
