Next month we’re throwing a tasting party–Edible Escape–where you can savor flavors from around the world, all without needing a passport. Now ViniPortugal, one of our Edible Escape partners, is offering a sweet chance to win a 5-day, all-expenses-paid trip for two to Portugal to experience the wine–oh the wine!–, food and sights firsthand.
