An evening designed as a journey. An exclusive gathering centred on art, curiosity and the spirit of travel, in one of Portugal’s most iconic settings.


The evening begins with a cocktail reception in the palace gardens, between 7 pm and 8 pm, in a relaxed late-afternoon atmosphere.
Followed by a ‘Conversation’:
“The Grand Tour Revisited: Travel, Art & Curiosity”
An intimate gathering led by well-known figures from the worlds of travel and art.
At around 9 pm, dinner will be served in the cloister, a unique setting where the architecture and lighting create an enchanting atmosphere.

Throughout the evening, live musical performances by renowned international classical musicians will accompany the experience.

10% of the proceeds will be donated to Horizonte Musical do Tejo, a Lisbon-based charity that promotes artistic excellence and social inclusion through music.
During the evening, a courtesy draw will be held for a 4-night Sanctuary Nile cruise for two, offered by Abercrombie & Kent. A timeless journey to the heart of Egypt, sailing down the Nile, where ancient temples and serene landscapes evoke the spirit of the Grand Tour.
The Venue
The dinner will take place in the cloister of the Mafra National Palace, a semi-open space (we recommend bringing a warm layer), with assigned seating, located approximately 20 minutes from Lisbon.
How to get there
Shared transfer available upon booking (additional cost to be confirmed).
Option to hire a driver to drive your car after the event.
Arrival
& Parking
Parking is available near the palace, with on-site assistance.
