Embark on a small-group day trip that weaves together centuries of history and the refined pleasures of wine. Travel from Lisbon to the ancient streets of Évora, then on to the peaceful Alentejo countryside—renowned for its rich wines and enduring charm.
Your journey begins in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city where centuries of civilizations have left their mark. Enter at the unforgettable Chapel of Bones, reflect on its haunting message: “We bones that are here, await yours.” The site is eerie yet thought-provoking—a deeply human moment on your route through time.
Walk with your guide through cobbled lanes to discover the Roman Temple, the formidable Évora Cathedral, and quaint squares filled with artisan shops. After that, enjoy some free time to explore the city and have a typical Portuguese lunch.
On your way to our vineyard, stop at the hilltop ruins of Montemor-o-Novo Castle. This silent sentinel overlooks the plains and offers sweeping views, as well as a glimpse into Portugal’s medieval past.
Visit to a family-run local winery. Before tasting, enjoy a stroll through the vineyards as your host shares insight into local grape varieties and the techniques that balance innovation with centuries-old tradition. Your visit concludes with a guided tasting of four regional wines, accompanied by local flavors such as cheeses and chorizos. Sip and savor while overlooking the countryside that gives these wines their identity.
During the experience, travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan in a small group of no more than 8 people, ensuring a more personal and enriching experience. By day’s end, arrive to Lisbon with new knowledge, vivid memories, and perhaps a bottle or two of Alentejo’s best.
