ABOUT RAFAEL DE LIMA

From Luxury Hospitality To A Tasting Room

Ultra luxury hospitality experience in 5 countries and 2 continents in brands such as The Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale USA and Geneva Switzerland, Kempinski Malta, Rosewood London and Michelin Stars in the South of France.

My family makes wine which I help (to drink), I own a wine bar in Porto specializing in wine tastings that really teach something, and I am a DipWSET candidate at the WSET London School.

Unique Wine and Food Experiences

In 2018 I started this tiny wine tasting room downtown Porto, seating only 8 people and it quickly became the reference to learn about Portuguese wine. I am there every day tasting wine and making people discover wine through a very small and exclusive tasting room at my wine bar. I avoid touristy locations when I travel myself and I do my best to make it that way too at my wine tasting at de Lima’s wine bar. I am so thankful for all the people that left those heartfelt reviews.

Due to the pandemic times I have done many events as well, such as Dreamforce in San Francisco.

It has been a blessing to work with the best companies in the world such as Amazon, Salesforce, Google, Apple, Netflix, SpaceX, Revenue Grid, Target, Twitter, Meta, Microsoft, Black Rock and provide some fun yet educational wine moments.

If looking for a private event, please email me the details.
