The Experience

The day starts with pickup from your Lisbon hotel and a drive south toward the Setúbal Peninsula. On the way, you pass the Christ the King statue and the 25th of April Bridge — both visible from the road — before entering Arrábida Natural Park. The route climbs through rolling vineyards and limestone terrain, with stops for photographs over the Atlantic Ocean and a visit to the Livramento Market in Setúbal, where vendors sell fresh fish, regional cheeses, bread and local pastries (closed Mondays). A local guide travels with you the entire day and explains the region's wine heritage and sustainable farming practices as the landscape unfolds.

You visit two family-owned wineries, chosen from among Quinta da Bacalhôa, José Maria da Fonseca, Quinta do Piloto and Farm Catralvos — availability determines which pair you see, and you can request a preference when you book. At each cellar, a winemaker or estate guide walks you through the winemaking process and pours three regional wines for tasting. Between the two wineries, you stop at the Azulejos de Azeitão tile studio to watch artisans hand-paint traditional Portuguese tiles using centuries-old methods. The second winery includes a food tasting of Azeitão cheese, local bread, and house-made preserves alongside wine samples. A Portuguese lunch at an authentic local restaurant is available at your own cost; your guide can recommend options.

The route also passes through Sesimbra, a medieval coastal village where you can visit the castle and the Igreja de Santa Maria, a Baroque church famous for its hand-painted tile work (optional stops). The drive back to Lisbon gives you time to settle in as the guide shares stories about the region's wine traditions and the families behind each estate. You return to your hotel at the end of the afternoon.

Is this one for you?Book the private option if you want the flexibility to request specific wineries and the comfort of traveling with just your group; choose the small-group shared tour if you're open to meeting other wine travelers and prefer a lower price. Either way, the guide handles all navigation and timing, so the day flows without anyone building an itinerary.
