Overview
From learning about Port with a Knight of the Port Wine Brotherhood, to savoring a farm-to-table meal on an organic farm on Madeira Island, Patamar Select offers highly personalized, locally infused experiences throughout Portugal.
Since 2005, Patamar Select has steeped itself in the regions they represent on the Iberian Peninsula. Engaging, knowledgeable guides, exceptional lodging, authentic experiences, and outstanding food and wine result in personally crafted, life-changing trips that inspire travelers to learn and love their Portugal. Discerning travelers may find themselves visiting medieval villages and harvesting grapes at a local vineyard, in the midst of a hands-on cooking lesson with the Viscountess, horseback riding in Alentejo, or attending a signature sommelier session in Lisbon. Consistent exemplary reviews from past travelers and recognition within the upscale, luxury travel community speak to the dedication Patamar Select gives to nurturing relationships, making every moment count, and uncovering the very best of the region they love.

Portugal
Don’t forget to pack the essential hat, sunglasses, sunscreen if you’re traveling in the summer, a shawl and light raincoat, and of course your camera! For the winter months, layers are a great option plus waterproof jackets, hats and gloves. No matter where you are going in the world, you should pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals.
Spring and Fall are generally the very best times to visit Portugal.
Patamar Select profoundly believes in supporting the local economy and culture. Their staff is primarily composed of Portuguese women, and our suppliers are mainly small local companies that equally value exceptional service. Patamar Select owns a natural wine shop that supports over 120 small Portuguese producers whom they have visited and hosted to forge friendships and align common values. This ensures that they can offer their clients authentic experiences that match their specific needs and wants.
- Ethical Supplier Screening: Patamar Select explicitly filters and partners only with local experts, suppliers, and hospitality entities who practice fair labor and environmental sustainability.
- Preserving Cultural Heritage: A major element of Patamar Select’s sustainable blueprint involves safeguarding Portugal’s authentic cultural heritage. Rather than pushing massive commercial tourism, they intentionally curate small-group, low-impact private itineraries to minimize overtourism.
- Supporting Hyper-Local Economies: Patamar Select actively drives economic revenue to smaller, independent entities.
- Interior Tourism Diversification: To combat intense environmental and infrastructural strains felt by coastal hubs like Lisbon and Porto, Patamar Select’s strategic growth focuses heavily on routing eco-conscious and luxury travelers toward remote locations in the interior of Portugal.
