The award-winning, luxury wine hotel, The Yeatman, in Porto, celebrated its first ten years, in December 2020, with the launch of an enigmatic book.
The First Decade allows you to discover many of the ingredients which have contributed to The Yeatman’s unique qualities. It demystifies The Yeatman’s passion for Portuguese wine, Michelin star gastronomy and its intimate relationship with the city of Porto, Portugal’s second city. It also tells the story of the family behind the name and other unusual, historical facts.
"The First Decade” reviews the first ten years and The Yeatman’s philosophy surrounding its central wine theme. "We are celebrating our 10th anniversary, however we carry within us our history and experience gained since 1838 when The Yeatman family established itself in Port wine, explains Adrian Bridge, CEO of The Yeatman. "Our origins in the wine trade give us timeless qualities and experience which help us unite the past to the present day. We are proud to continue our wine theme throughout all aspects of our Hotel: from our wine cellar where we house the largest collection of Portuguese wine in the world, to our bedrooms - represented by Portuguese wine producers who are our partners, to tastings and masterclasses where you can taste Portugal’s best wines, to our food and wine pairing experiences including our wine dinners, as well as our luxurious Vinotherapy Spa treatments”.

Reflecting The Yeatman’s first ten years in operation, the book is divided into ten chapters with perhaps the most emblematic being that which explores 10 wine styles, 100 wines and 100 dishes. These include Aromatic dry whites and Rosés to Port and Sparkling wines – each style presents different wine labels and their corresponding gastronomic pairing. The sum of the chapter amounts to 100 wine partners and the work of the Hotel’s Wine Director and The Yeatman’s Executive Chef Ricardo Costa – who have both been part of the project since opening.
