Wine Tasting, Live DJ set, and Community Talks — for the people shaping Lisbon.
Wine tasting, live DJ set, and community talks — for the people shaping Lisbon.
Join a curated evening bringing together founders, community builders, and culturally curious minds actively shaping the city, one conversation at a time!
The evening opens with an intimate roundtable for Lisbon's most active community leaders - a focused, curated conversation to kick things off. Not a panel, not a presentation - just the right people, in the same room, talking about what actually matters, powered by Led by Community.
In the meantime, a guided wine tasting experience by De Boca em Boca.
Enjoy a curated selection of wines by a local Lisbon-based producer, Quinta Varzea Da Pedra. Meet Tomás Emídio, taste his wines, and ask questions as you explore his low-intervention approach, rooted in respect for nature.
And to warm it all up, a live DJ set from Virginia Scapinelli, Lisbon Connection Week’s founder, shaping the atmosphere throughout the evening, so you can drop into the music… and maybe shake it a little, if you feel like it.
All this in the beautiful setting of Praça Beato, a food market in Lisbon where gastronomy meets culture and conviviality, inside the wine shop & bar De Boca em Boca Beato.

About the venue
Praça Beato, a food market in Lisbon where gastronomy meets culture and conviviality. In one space, they bring together a restaurant, an artisanal bakery, a café, a wine bar and a curated selection of local products, all within a relaxed, identity-driven environment.
Located in the heart of the Beato Innovation District, across two large industrial buildings with indoor areas and an outdoor terrace, Praça is a natural meeting point for a dynamic Lisbon. Alongside their daily offer, they host a cultural programme including food festivals, live music, pop-ups and community-driven events.
The event will take place at De Boca em Boca Beato — a wine shop & bar located inside Praça Beato.
