Wine, Warmth & Modern Romance at Quinta dos Santos

Photographed by Rachelle Holland

Under the soft Algarve light, Nardhia and Daniel celebrated their wedding surrounded by the rustic charm of Quinta dos Santos, a contemporary vineyard in southern Portugal. The day unfolded in harmony with its surroundings — terracotta tones, olive trees, and minimalist Mediterranean architecture forming a serene canvas for the couple’s celebration.

Photographer Rachelle Holland describes it as “a beautiful vineyard celebration complete with a tour of the winemaking process and wine tasting as part of the day.” The couple’s relaxed approach invited guests to experience not just a wedding, but the essence of the Algarve lifestyle — slow, warm, and rich in flavour.

Dinner was held beneath whitewashed arches overlooking the surrounding valley. Long tables were dressed in linen, accented with arrangements of soft apricot, blush, and sand-toned blooms. The décor echoed the region’s natural palette, blending modern design with organic texture.

Every detail felt intentional yet effortless — from the sculptural cake echoing the warm stone hues of the vineyard, to the delicate paper menus resting on beaded glass plates. It was the kind of day that invited guests to savour every moment, from the clinking of glasses to the final sunset over the vines.
