Le Midi and Cream Wine Company are thrilled to welcome one of Portugal's most influential and celebrated winemakers, Luis Seabra, for an exceptionally rare and intimate tasting. Making his first visit to Chicago in seven years, Luis will join us personally to guide guests through four of his extraordinary wines and share the philosophy that has made him one of the most important voices in modern Portuguese winemaking.

A true visionary in the Portuguese wine world, Luis spent more than a decade as head winemaker at the legendary Niepoort estate before establishing his own project in 2013. His mission was simple but revolutionary: to create wines that speak more of their origins than of the winemaker himself. Working with old vines, indigenous grape varieties, and the extraordinary soils of the Douro and beyond, Luis has helped redefine the international perception of Portuguese wine, crafting bottlings celebrated for their purity, elegance, minerality, and unmistakable sense of place. 

This is an incredibly special opportunity to meet a winemaker whose influence extends far beyond Portugal. Le Midi has long admired Seabra's wines, and we couldn't be more excited to share this experience with our guests. With only a limited number of spots available, we encourage you to secure your table soon for what promises to be one of our most memorable events of the year.

Your tasting experience includes 4 pours of the wines below while seated at your own reserved table. 
Full menus will be available for à la carte service:

2023 'Xisto Ilimitado' Branco, Douro ($31.99)
