Herdade de Malhadinha Nova is awarded Green Michelin Star The Michelin Green Star is an annual award highlighting exceptional restaurants for their sustainable practices. In February 2024, Herdade de Malhadinha Nova in rural Alentejo, Portugal, was awarded this enviable accolade. Restaurants receiving the Green Star set strong ethical and environmental standards, working with sustainable suppliers to avoid waste and reduce or eliminate plastic. At the same time, they demonstrate culinary excellence and are a source of inspiration both for foodies and the hospitality industry as a whole. The Michelin Green Star guide describes Malhadinha Nova’s restaurant as: “Surrounded by stunning vineyards. It occupies the ground floor of a small house which is glass-fronted throughout and boasts breathtaking views. “The cuisine here bears the signature of chef Joachim Koerper and is based on Alentejo cooking with hints of international influence. We can highly recommend the local eggs, DOP-certified Malhadinha-reared merino lamb and the honey produced on the estate.” DISCOVER MORE |

'Farm to Fork' with Jampa @ Trisara
Trisara offers a range of dining options and the Green Star Michelin starred, Jampa, offers a very special ‘farm to fork’ concept, which we were lucky enough to visit and enjoy! What began as a simple passion for real food and a desire to ‘eat better’ has grown into Jampa, a new concept of farm to fork, creative food with a menu of sophisticated, tasty and nutritious dishes that changes daily, based on the sea and land, offering a new harvest each day. Located just 20 minutes from Trisara, and on 1.6 hectares of land, sustainability is considered first and foremost in all work and in every decision at the restaurant, and the goal is to exert the absolute minimal impact upon earth, including breaking down waste with zero carbon footprint and creating organic compost that is used in on the farm.

It has been a busy few months for the team visiting some of our Latin America and Asian clients. In February, Justine had a trip of a lifetime to visit the Galapagos Islands on land and luxury yacht with a stay at Pikaia Lodge. She also found time on the way back to ‘pop over’ to the up and coming destination of Panama and the gorgeous overwater villas of Nayara Bocas del Toro and explore the unspoilt archipelago. April was a South-East Asian ‘odyssey’, being restored at Kamalaya, and spoilt at Trisara in Thailand, followed by an always very special stay at Song Saa in Cambodia. We are very happy to share our ‘first hand and up to date’ knowledge! For product updates or meetings - virtual or in person, please do contact us, and for details regarding all of our partners please see our full client directory.
