Wedding Location
Quinta do Avesso
Rua 25 de Abril 504, 4485-304 Labruge, Portugal
Never too far from the ocean. Just a stone’s throw from the beach, the venue is a beautifully restored traditional property, with exactly the rustic, intimate feel we were looking for. With its beautiful architecture and fresh ocean breeze, it has such a special, relaxed feel, the right mood for our celebration! And if you know us, you know good food is a must! Our catering will be led by Chef Vanessa Silva and her team, who put a modern twist on Portuguese classics while bringing in amazing international flavors. Come hungry!

Travel
Discover Porto
Bem vindos à Invicta! If you have some extra time before or after the wedding, Porto is definitely worth exploring! Here are our recommendations for 2 days in Porto, plus a few day-trip ideas.
2 Days in Porto
Day 1: Historic Porto & Ribeira — São Bento Railway Station, Porto Cathedral, Igreja dos Clérigos and the Clérigos Tower, Livraria Lello (book in advance), Rua das Flores, Ribeira, Dom Luís I Bridge, Vila Nova de Gaia, a port wine tasting (Graham’s / Casa Ferreirinha / Sandeman). Don’t miss sunset from Jardim do Morro or the Serra do Pilar viewpoint, and finish the day with a francesinha. Day 2: Markets & Seaside — Confeitaria Bem Bom for breakfast, Mercado do Bolhão, Rua de Santa Catarina, Capela das Almas, a pastel de nata at Manteigaria, Matosinhos for beach time, fresh fish, and surfing (Surfaventura school), sunset on the beach.
Day Trips

Combine with Costa Nova by car for its colourful striped houses and long sandy beach. Douro Valley — famous for vineyards, spectacular landscapes and Port wine production. Best explored by car, or via organised day tours from Porto. If you have the time, spend one night in the Douro Valley instead of just a day trip. Good base areas: Pinhão, Peso da Régua, Lamego. You could also visit: Palácio da Bolsa, Miradouro da Vitória, Foz do Douro. If you have more time: Parque Nacional Peneda Gerês, Braga and/or Guimarães, Coimbra.
