Alentejo Wine Tour from Lisbon Including Lunch

After a morning pickup from your hotel in central Lisbon, travel south with your guide toward Alentejo, a winemaking region that’s garnered worldwide praise for its wines.

We will drive up north to the sunbaked plains of Alentejo, a winemaking region that stretches from the Spanish border to the Algarve in the south. Upon arrival in Alentejo, visit a local winery and discover the process behind producing these wines. Then put your palette to the test during a wine tasting of reds and whites as well as degustation of local products such as cheese, chouriço (smoked pork sausage), smoked ham and bread.

Then it will be time to break for lunch and tuck into a tasty 2-course meal at either the first or second winery depending on the size of the group.

Continue on to the second winery in Alentejo, which has a long-standing winemaking tradition and a stellar reputation for producing intense and fruity ruby-colored reds. Venture out into the neatly pruned vines during a guided vineyard tour and learn about the climate and local varietals. Compound your newfound knowledge during another wine tasting session, where a tutor will talk you through the complex flavors of each style.

Afterward, settle into the car for a scenic drive back to Lisbon, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel in late afternoon.
