For Pepper’s Steakhouse, this recognition is a significant milestone, confirming the quality of its impressive wine collection. The restaurant offers an exceptional wine-tasting experience through its “Wine Book”, where customers can explore a wide range of Portuguese wines categorised by region, brand, grape variety, year of production, price, and awards.

Beginning in the Algarve and extending across all of Portugal’s wine regions, the restaurant’s wine journey also includes a diverse selection of global wines, sparkling wines, and champagnes, standing out for its vast selection of nearly 300 wine references and a stock of over 4,000 bottles.

Pepper’s Steakhouse is regarded as a top destination for wine enthusiasts, offering visitors a selection of Port wine, Portuguese sparkling wines, champagnes, white wines, and fortified wines, all stored in a marble room with a temperature maintained between 7ºC and 9ºC to ensure optimal storage conditions.

The oak-wood-built air-conditioned red wine cellar is kept at a controlled temperature between 16ºC and 18ºC, with dim lighting to preserve a humidity level of 70%. It currently houses over 180 national and international wine varieties, including some of the rarest references.
