About us
We love to learn about wines almost as much as tasting them. The world of Portuguese wine can be overwhelming, with over 250 native grape varieties and over 30 DOC regions. But we are on a mission to educate all that Portugal has to offer. Terra Doce Portugal aims to celebrate the heritage, diverse landscapes, traditional and modern winemaking techniques that make Portugal an incredible place for wine lovers from all over the world.
Adrienne, founder of Terra Doce Portugal, is a student of wine and world traveler. She grew up tagging along with her family exploring the wine regions of Napa, Santa Barbara, and Paso Robles in the United States, and has explored wine regions all over Europe. She now lives with her family in Portugal. Adrienne created Terra Doce to share her love for wine, food and exploring wines of Portugal with others. Adrienne studied wine at UCLA Extension and further continued her studies as a professor’s aid before moving to Portugal. Since then, she has earned certification in Fortified Wines from Eviva Wine School (in Portuguese), and Wine Spirits & Education Trust Level II Wines certification with distinction. She is currently preparing for Level III.
