Fado & Vine was born from a love of travel, culture, and meaningful connections.

Founder Wade Anderson, a physical therapist with an adventurous spirit, has lived in 10 states and visited 11 countries in search of a place that felt like home. That journey led him to Porto, Portugal, a city where history, warmth, and tradition come alive.

Wade’s passion for exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations and building genuine connections inspired him to create Fado & Vine—a way to share the real Portugal with travelers and expats alike.

Whether you’re here for a week or considering a move, our goal is to help you experience Portugal as a local, not just a visitor.

At Fado & Vine, we believe in slow, intentional travel, supporting local businesses, and embracing the rich culture of Portugal in a way that is both immersive and respectful. Let us help you discover the Portugal that locals love.
