We have already hired Terrius many times to create and conduct private events (picnic -or gourmet dinner, aperitives for musical events, etc.) for VIP groups in Alto Alentejo and in Évora. It has always been a round success thanks to the high quality of the products, the highly professional and customized Service of the team - with a hat to Rita and Filipe - and the charming and historic features of the venues. Its emphasis on local and regional products and the level of preparation and Service distinguishes Terrius from others. Very highly recommended!
