Who are we?

It all started with Luís Xavier. He imported Portuguese wines to the Netherlands in the 90s. Gil & Joël, his 2 sons, worked occasionally for their father and so they quickly became familiar with entrepreneurship and of course the delicious wines.

Years later, when Luís had already stopped importing wines, the entrepreneurial itch started to itch at Gil & Joël. They started a delicatessen where they sold wine, among other things. Delícia was born. The wines were the most popular product and Delícia grew into a fine wine shop, where many Saturdays were spent with pleasure. Unfortunately, the shop came to an end when the brothers were allowed to run café de Opera in the center in addition to Delícia.

In addition to the shop, Delícia has also played an increasingly important role in the hospitality industry over the years. More and more restaurants and cafés came into contact with Portuguese wines and Delícia may no longer be a shop, but it did change into a hospitality supplier. In order to be a total supplier, a network was built up. In this way, Delícia could supply wines from many other countries in addition to Portuguese wines.

The latest addition is this webshop. Here, private customers can easily see what is on offer and still enjoy the delicious wines at home.

Gil now runs Delícia on his own. Fortunately, they have nice people around them who, each in their own way, make a good contribution to Delícia.
