Join us for an unforgettable olive factory tour and tasting experience, at the Helder Madeira factory in Tavira this March.

As an Italian expatriate navigating life in a foreign land, the pangs of nostalgia for the comforting aromas and authentic tastes of home have been a constant companion. Accustomed to the art of crafting meals in my own kitchen, the hustle and bustle of daily life in a new environment left little time for the traditional grocery shopping excursions.

This is the restaurant at Vila Vita Parc where Algarvian flavours win fine dining honours, and vegetables have absolute privilege. It reopens on February 10th, maintaining the regional DNA, but also sophistication and suprise.

When it comes to snacking, few treats can satisfy you as much as sinking your teeth into a piece of savory, tender beef jerky. This beloved snack has a rich history, dating back to ancient civilizations, and has evolved into various flavors and forms over the years.

Vila Vita Parc is launching, on June 12th, a new restaurant concept Giardino - La Cucina Italiana, this time dedicated to Italian cuisine and traditional classic dishes from Italy, adding to the current culinary diversity of the resort that already has eleven restaurants to offer.

On the 10th and 11th of May, the Swede Jack Soifer, who has lived in the Algarve for decades, presented many Portuguese wines to two groups of businessmen, many looking for a second home here. Six wines, mainly from Alentejo, were tasted.

Welcome to the Algarve, a sun-kissed paradise nestled in the southern nooks of Portugal. While its breathtaking beaches and charming towns may steal the spotlight, it’s time to shine a dazzling light on its culinary scene.

Anyone who has ever visited Spain or tasted its national cuisine will distinguish it from many others.
