About Desviso
Vinhos Desviso is a small, family-run winery, founded by Scott and Marta. He is American, she is Portuguese, and they have been together for over 12 years. The couple decided to start their own project with the main goal of producing fresh, elegant wines, that translate their individual experiences and journey together.
Before starting Vinhos Desviso Marta and Scott worked in wineries in the USA, specifically in the small town of Walla Walla located in Washington State. It was through harvest experiences in Portugal that the idea of returning to Portugal to make their own wine with Portuguese grape varieties was born.
The winery is located about 50 minutes north of Lisbon, between the towns of Bombarral and Óbidos. After repurposing the old family’s warehouse into a winery, Vinhos Desviso’s first harvest was in 2022.
Grapes are always hand-harvested, carefully selecting only the best bunches. At the winery, the wines are produced with minimal intervention (natural fermentation, no fining, no filtering), but above all, with a lot a respect and care for the land and what comes from it, allowing for each wine to express itself and tell its own story.
Event comes to life thanks to terroir, our wine provider who work with small producers who have a close relationship with their vineyards and the process that takes place in the cellar. They share wines with a sense of place and a connection to people.
