Bento Amaral, Technical and Certification Director at Douro and Port Wine Institute (IVDP), inspires the fifth thematic dinner at Oficina Restaurant, on May 3.

The menu, where the dishes of the sea stood out, followed the gastronomic and wine preferences of the guest, who besides being an oenologist, is also a professor at the Catholic University.

Its remarkable course was one of the topics versed in the dialogue generated among the guests, and which is the hallmark of this initiative. The sea-flavored menu by Chef Marco Gomes was the starting point for socializing and sharing, ideas that support this OFICINA initiative.
