Wine List
All the wines in the restaurant are from Portugal, these wines match and complement the taste of our dishes beautifully.
There are more than 250 indigenous varieties in Portugal, it boasts the largest number of domestic varieties in the world.
You will surely fall in love the labels found at Vivario.
Our reccommendation for white wine is Vinho Verde, from the northernmost part of Portugal's harvests of unripe green grapes. They have a relatively low alcohol content and possess refreshing and fruity flavours. Vinho Verde is popular for having sparkling bubbles when opened and setting down soon after, giving you the chance of enjoying it in two different states: bubbly and flat.
Our red wine reccommendation is the grape "Touriga Nacional" Portugal's finest red grape variety with outstanding scent, ripe blackcurrant and raspberry scents, as well as complex flavors such as herbs and licorice. This variety is found close to the French Garnache attracts attention due to its quality.
