BEHIND THE EXPERIENCES
hello, i'm rica
Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.
This site brings together many parts of my life: the places I’ve called home, the people and traditions that have shaped me, my love of food and gathering around the table, our vineyard in the Douro, and the experiences that have grown from all of it.
It has been a journey of many places, many chapters, and plenty of unexpected turns.
Come in — I’d love to share the story with you.
