Lisbon Coffee Week partners with Good Company for an intimate evening dedicated to the craft of writing about food, culture, and place. Led by award-winning journalist Margo Gabriel (featured in The New York Times, BBC, and Wine Enthusiast), this workshop explores how to turn flavor, memory, and atmosphere into compelling stories.
Drawing on her experience as a writer and editor, Margo will guide you through practical exercises and storytelling frameworks to sharpen your voice and bring depth to your narratives on gastronomy and hospitality. All of this while enjoying a glass of natural wine from Good Company’s curated selection.
