Visiting Lucas at Quinta de Sant’ana

Lucas came to Berlin from Portugal 2 years ago. He grew up in there and lived all his life with his 6 brothers and parents on a Quinta with a little vineyard that his parents took over from the old caretaker in the early ’90s. Slowly they nurtured it and over the years they improved and mastered their wine-making… and it’s their wonderful wine we now enjoy in our restaurant!

Apart from himself and his guitar, he didn’t bring much else. He didn’t really know how to work a bar, so he started out with us as a runner. However, his eagerness to learn was impressive and before long he was a big part of the team. He also dreamt of playing in a band and Berlin felt like the right moment to make that happen. Finishing his career strong with his first and last ever gig at White Trash Fast Food; fulfilling his dream, he was able to let it go.

Lucas is now moving on to his next adventure, but before he goes, we wanted to visit him and his family back home. And there we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon on their graced land.

So we wish Lucas all the best for your next adventure, drinking your wine will always have an extra depth to it, full of sunshine and nature. 

(Lucas is on to Morocco now to discover the wonders of tea).
