European Wine Bloggers Conference

As you all know, the venue is one of the most important decisions made in the planning of an event. The style, feeling and layout of the venue can easily sway your state of mind, alter your creativity or simply set your expectations of what’s to come. Consequently, we diligently searched high and low for the perfect space that met our long list of needs, from comfortable rooms to quality customer service, and from open and airy conference rooms to being centrally located and easy to get to.

That said, we’re proud to announce the 5 star VIP Grand Lisboa as our final choice! The hotel is located in the heart of Lisbon, and is not only modern in style, but has an underlying “Zen” design with aquarium style bathtubs, wide open spaces and a clean sharp design. The staff speaks several languages, and the hotel prides itself on its quality customer service. As you an imagine, when bringing together people from a wide variety of cultures and languages, customer service is key for us.

The following discounted prices are available for only a set number of rooms. Hence, we encourage you to book your room as soon as possible by contacting me at gabriella@catavino.net

Single: 100 euros

Double: 120 euros

However if you would like to share your room or transportation costs with others, simply go to the EWBC forum!
