About de Lima's Wine Bar & Tastings
Rafa knows wine the way few people in Porto bother to learn it — the making, the pairing, the story behind each glass — and a tasting here, whether you know nothing or everything, lands differently because of it. The room is comfortable and informal, the kind of place that feels like someone's home rather than a bar. Portuguese wines are the thread running through the evening, and the cheese boards and embutidos that come alongside them are chosen to match, not just to fill the table. Groups of four get something close to a private session. Staff explain the provenance of each wine as it's poured. People keep coming back — one guest returned after seven years and is already planning the next visit.
