A Sanctuary for renewal. In viticulture, the Sarmento is the shoot of the vine, the branch that holds the promise of new fruit. It represents resilience, growth, and the cycle of nature.
House of Sarmento is a living embodiment of this principle. Formerly nestled in Madrid, then Sintra, and now rooted in the vibrant heart of Lisbon, this is a space dedicated to the act of renewing oneself.
We are not a private club. We are a private home. And here, the door opens only to cultivate the most human of instincts: Connection.
This House is an echo of another.
I walk in the footsteps of my grandmother, Beatriz. She understood that a home is defined not by its walls, but by the connections they hold. Her home was a sanctuary of constant welcome, a perpetual celebration of friends and family.
She navigated life’s highest peaks and hardest valleys with unwavering grace. No matter the circumstance, she maintained a standard of elegance, hosting gatherings that suspended time and worry.
She lived by a fundamental truth: "Stop. Feel. Connect. That is happiness."
She was my first believer and the reason I am an entrepreneur today. House of Sarmento is my tribute to her. We honor her memory by keeping the door open.
-- Pedro
We believe that the profound happens when time is suspended.
Our gatherings are intimate, rarely more than twelve, never fewer than six. We curate the room as carefully as we curate the wine. We gather friends, and friends of friends, around a single table to engage in "Deep Conversations."
Here, small talk is left at the door. We dissect the impact of artificial intelligence, we debate the shifting landscape of global culture, and we champion the voices of emergent artists.
We eat. We drink. We think. We turn acquaintances into friends, and friends into family.
Navigating the symbiosis of humanity and synthetic intelligence. We move beyond the hype to ask the fundamental questions: How will we live well? How do we retain our soul in a digital age?
A sanctuary for the new avant-garde. The House is a living gallery where we scout and champion the creators shaping the visual language of tomorrow. We don't just observe culture; we inhabit it.
To build the future, one must have the stamina for it. We treat health not as a chore, but as a strategy. From bio-optimization to the discipline of sport, we share knowledge on how to maintain peak vitality in a sedentary world.
The House is a quiet catalyst. We believe the best ventures are born from trust, not transactions. At our table, distinct worlds collide, sparking the spontaneous collaborations that turn abstract ideas into concrete reality.
House of Sarmento operates on a philosophy of trust and organic growth.
There are no memberships to buy. There is no application to fill out. We do not solicit guests; we recognize kindred spirits.
If you have found your way here, it is likely because you have crossed paths with us, or with a friend who calls this House their home away from home.
We look forward to welcoming you to the table.
