ViniPortugal is an inter-professional organisation based north of Lisbon representing Portuguese wine and Madeira producers and promoting their products all over the world. We have representatives in several countries, including the UK, Ireland, Brazil and the USA, acting on our behalf to raise the profile of Portuguese wines. Our UK base is in the offices of JK Marketing in leafy Cheshire.

In the UK we organise an Annual Consumer Tasting, the next one taking place on 12th April 2010 – please contact viniportugal@jkmarketing.co.uk if you would like to visit. We also have high profile stands at nationwide events such as Badminton and the Hampton Court Flower Show, not forgetting the Wine Show held every October in London. Come along to taste some exceptional wines. If you would like us to organise a tasting for your group please ask.

The Trade focus is as varied and diverse as the wines themselves. Trade and press can contact us at viniportugal@jkmarketing.co.uk about the ‘city tastings’ we organise throughout the UK, the 50 Great Portuguese Wines tasting (with Sarah Ahmed in February ’10) and the annual tasting of Portuguese Wines (in April ’10). ViniPortugal supports promotions in major groups and independent on and off trade as well as organising buyers trips to Portugal and PR. Find out about trade only events at www.jkmarketing.co.uk

“ViniPortugal are widely recognised to be the BEST of the trade bodies of any wine-producing country, providing excellent support to both journalists and the wine trade. They’re doing a really good job, and I hope that whoever is in charge of funding them in Portugal recognises the important work they do.” Jamie Goode, The Wine Anorak: who are we to argue with Jamie!
