Arrábida · Private Wine Day

Arrábida Wine Tour — Azeitão & Setúbal, from Lisbon

Three family wineries, the Setúbal market, a long Portuguese lunch — all on the cork-oak side of the Atlantic, with your own driver and guide.

Where it actually is

The closest serious wine country to Lisbon.

Cross the 25 de Abril Bridge and forty minutes later the road climbs into the Arrábida hills. Cork oaks on one side, the Atlantic glinting on the other. At the centre is the village of Azeitão — home of Moscatel de Setúbal and small family wineries that have been pouring for seven generations. The Setúbal fish market, 145 years old, is fifteen minutes further down the coast.

What the day looks like

Three cellars, one long lunch, no rush.

We start at Setúbal's Livramento market — oysters, cheese, the first glass of Moscatel — then move between three family wineries in Azeitão, with a long traditional lunch in the middle. Optional close at Cristo Rei or Sesimbra Castle for Atlantic light at the end of the day. Pickup and drop-off at your Lisbon hotel; the driving is on us.

What makes it a YES day

Private from the start. Real cellars. Designed live.

We are a licensed Portuguese team (RNAAT 31/2023), not a marketplace re-selling someone else's bus. Every day is private from the start — your group, your pace, your wineries. The cellars we use are ones we have personally worked with, where the family still pours. If a winery isn't open the day you want, we change it — the Studio shows you the alternative in real time, with price.

    Unforgettable Arrábida wine day

    We were picked up at our hotel and our wonderful adventure began. Unforgettable local market, studio of a tile artisan, 3 lovely wineries, beautiful vistas, delicious Portuguese lunch, and a much broader understanding of Portugal's history. Miguel was attentive and incredibly knowledgeable. I would urge you to take this tour.

    Good food and wine

    This tour took us to 3 wineries and they all were very impressive. To visit the local market was a wonderful experience too where we bought some really fresh local produce and ate fresh oysters. Lunch was also included in a local restaurant — the charcoal grilled fish and pork were delicious. João was very friendly and full of positive energy.

    A fantastic time while in Lisbon

    Had a fantastic time our last day in Lisbon. Our tour included a visit to a local market where we saw many species of seafood unheard in the US, a visit to three wineries where we sampled delicious regional wines and a fabulous lunch tasting the local cuisine. Bernardo was very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this excursion.

    Lovely outing outside of Lisbon

    We had a wonderful day with our guide Nuno. He was a genuinely kind, caring man and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Wine tastings were plentiful as were the presentations at the 3 wineries we attended. An excellent lunch was provided. We thank you for a great day.

    Simply the best tour!

    This was the best tour on our trip! Our guide, João, was wonderful. The private tour had the right balance of vineyards to visit along with a trip to a small family owned tile facility, and a visit to the fish market. The luncheon provided was exceptional.
