Partner with SIP
Your story belongs in the journey.
SIP connects travelers with the people, places and stories behind Portugal's wine culture.
We're building a new way to experience Portugal — through great wine, local knowledge, culture and the people who bring it all to life.
About SIP
Portugal has the wine.
Portugal has the places.
We bring in the people.
SIP was created around a simple idea: one of the best ways to understand Portugal is through its wine.
But wine is never only about what is in the glass. It is history. It is geography. It is food. It is tradition. It is family. And above all, it is people.
SIP brings these worlds together by connecting travelers directly with the guides, winemakers, sommeliers, wineries and local professionals who know Portugal from the inside.
Better wine tourism starts with the people behind it.
Our ambition goes beyond creating another booking platform. We want SIP to help strengthen wine tourism across Portugal, bring travelers to more regions and local businesses, create opportunities for independent professionals, and give the people behind Portuguese wine greater visibility.
We want travelers to discover not only the famous places, but also the small producers, local stories, hidden regions and people they may never have found on their own.
SIP is being built as a long-term network connecting
Why join SIP
Good reasons to be part of this.
More visibility
Reach travelers actively looking for wine, culture and local Experiences across Portugal.
Your story, not just your product
SIP introduces the person behind the Experience. Travelers can discover who you are before they decide what to book.
Reach international travelers
Languages are central to SIP. Travelers can discover Hosts and Experiences based on the language they want to experience Portugal in.
A fair partnership
Joining SIP is free for our partners. No joining fee. No listing fee. No membership fee.
We grow together
Our goal is to create more opportunities for the people and businesses already building Portugal's wine and tourism culture.
A fairer model
You create the experience.
We help travelers find it.
We believe the people creating great Experiences should be fairly rewarded for their work. That's why SIP does not charge guides, wineries or wine professionals to join or list their Experiences.
Our business model is designed to allow us to operate the platform, support bookings, promote SIP internationally and continue developing our partner network — without charging our partners a joining or listing fee.
You set your Experiences.
You tell us your story.
We help travelers discover you.
There's more than one way to be part of SIP.
Wine Guides & Local Hosts
For people creating personal wine, food, history and cultural Experiences.
Sommeliers & Wine Educators
For professionals who want to share wine through tastings, workshops, education and storytelling.
Winemakers
For the people actually making the wine — and willing to share the story behind it.
Wineries
From small family producers to established estates offering visits, tastings, food, events or other Experiences.
Winery Owners & Families
Because sometimes the most memorable part of a visit is meeting the person whose family story is behind the bottle.
What you'll need
Nothing complicated.
Just you, your story, and your Experiences.
You don't have to prepare everything at once. When you create your SIP profile, we'll guide you step by step. Here's the broad picture.
You & your story
Who you are, what you do, your background, the languages you host in, and a line or two about what you love.
The people behind the wine
For wineries — the owners, winemakers, hosts and family members travelers might actually meet.
Your Experiences
What someone can do with you. Describe each one separately — a tasting, a visit, a walk, a dinner.
Real photos
Authentic images of you, your places and your Experiences. Only images you own or have permission to share.
A few documents
For verification only — kept private, never published.
What guests say
Recommendations, testimonials or public reviews, if you have them.
Don't worry about getting it perfect — we'll walk you through each step, and you can save and continue later.

Complete your SIP information, Experiences and uploads.
We review it
Every new partner is reviewed personally by SIP.
We may get in touch
If we need clarification, additional photos or information, we'll contact you directly.
We build it together
Once approved, your information becomes the foundation for your SIP presence.
Travelers discover you
Your profile and approved Experiences can become discoverable through SIP search, language discovery, locations and the SIP Map.
Why do we ask for all this?
Because SIP is built around trust. We want travelers to feel confident about the person they are meeting, and we want our partners to be represented properly. That means understanding the Experience, verifying relevant information, and using strong, accurate photographs and descriptions. Quality matters more to us than having the largest possible number of listings.
