Ricardo Palma Veiga

WINE AND FOOD LOVER

There is no way not to like him. There is always a new place to visit, a fantastic wine to taste. I won’t even talk about the cook he is and the way he harmonizes endless dinners. He is a profound connoisseur of the Portuguese wines panorama and the best wine tourism properties. As a professional photographer with a connection to the wine industry for over 20 years, having worked in reference publications and after more than 600,000 km travelled, he is an unavoidable figure. Recognized from north to south, respected for the quality of his work. Few know like him what is best done in the wine sector. Maintains genuine friendships with the main producers who often invite him to share the news. Embodies perfectly in the Surf Wine Tours spirit.
