Day 1 Welcome to Alentejo, a flat golden land where the most emblematic Portuguese wines are grown.
Wine Tourism in Portugal invites you to discover the amazing Alentejo. An immersive day from Lisbon into the heart of Portuguese gastronomy and winemaking.
Pick-up at your Hotel in Lisbon, by an English-speaking Chauffeur in a deluxe vehicle Mercedes.
Departing from Lisbon towards the Alentejo region. Your first stop is in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the cultural heart of Alentejo. In the charming Praça do Giraldo, meet Sofia, your private local chef and host for an intimate culinary workshop at the Portuguese Cooking School, located in an 18th-century family home within the ancient Jewish quarter.
Step into the traditional kitchen and explore the richness of Portuguese cuisine, shaped by centuries of diverse influences and sun-kissed ingredients. Whether you're cooking pork, lamb, rabbit, or vegetarian specialties, Sofia will guide you through each step, customizing for food intolerances when needed. Discover the aromas of olive oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs like coriander, oregano, pennyroyal, and thyme—staples of Alentejo's culinary soul. After preparing your dishes, enjoy the reward: a relaxed and delicious lunch featuring the food you created, perfectly paired with a curated selection of local wines.
After lunch, continue your journey into the rolling vineyards of the region with a visit to Quinta de Dona Maria, an estate steeped in history and elegance. Begin with a visit to the 18th-century chapel, and explore the atmospheric winery, home to the estate’s iconic marble lagares, where traditional grape stomping ("pisa") is still practiced during harvest.
End with a premium tasting of 5 wines, showcasing the estate’s rich viticultural heritage and refined winemaking techniques.
Drop off at your Hotel in Lisbon.
