AN INVITATION · 22 AUGUST MMXXVI
A midsummer night's feast of food, wine, and firelight, held between the rows of an Algarve vineyard.
SOLD OUT · Reserve list open for returned seats.
An evening
João writes it the morning of the experience. Whatever came off the mountain. Whatever the Atlantic gave up before lunch. By the time the stars are out over the Arade valley, you realise you stopped checking your phone an hour ago. Good. Stay there.
Hosted by Loki and Arvad in support of the Portimão Soup Kitchen. Strictly limited seats.
In collaboration
The kitchen
Local. Authentic. Food.
An ingredient-driven kitchen rooted in Monchique. Chef João forages the mountain, fishes the coast, and writes the menu by the day. For Vine & Fire, the kitchen comes to the vineyard.

Phoenician roots · Arade Valley
Fourteen hectares above the Arade, planted on clay and limestone a young Algarve estate borrowing its name from an ancient seafaring island. Long pergola, sunset porch, small-batch wines from the cellar below.
arvad.ptA private vineyard dinner by Loki
Five courses by Loki. Paired wines. A rare evening of food, wine, and fire in the vines.
The Chef
João Marreiros' food is rooted in the Serra de Monchique, where he was born and where his earliest memories were shaped by gathering wild plants and ingredients for his grandmother's recipes.
At Loki, that relationship with land, memory, and season becomes something precise and intimate: local flavours carried through refined technique, served as a deeply personal expression of the Algarve.
