Private Évora Tour from Lisbon — heritage, wine & cork
Évora's UNESCO centre, two family wineries and a cork tradition stop — a private day across Alentejo at the pace of a long lunch.
Ninety minutes south, two thousand years deep.
Évora is a small UNESCO World Heritage city in the heart of Alentejo — Roman Temple, cathedral, narrow lanes and the famous Chapel of Bones, all walkable in an afternoon. From Lisbon it is an easy private drive across cork-oak country.
Roman temple, two wineries, a cork stop, long lunch.
We walk the old town with a local guide, visit two family wineries — one of them with a restaurant — and add a cork tradition stop so you see where Portuguese cork actually comes from. Lunch is Alentejo-slow, plates shared, wine local.
No coach, no rush, no fixed script.
Hotel pickup, your own driver-guide, your own car. Stay longer in the cathedral cloister, skip a winery, add an extra glass — the day moves with you, not with thirty strangers.

Great guide for Alentejo and Évora
Miguel was a wonderful guide/driver for the day. He is from the area and provided a lot of history which we enjoyed, especially his stories of his days at the university in Evora. We were able to see everything we wanted and additional sights based on his recommendation. Great tour!

We had a wonderful day
We had a wonderful day with Helena. I can’t imagine a better guide her choice of winery and a small tavern for an authentic Portuguese lunch were exactly what we were looking for. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic day with an excellent guide!
We had a wonderful full day in the Alentejo with Ricardo. We enjoyed lovely wine tastings at family wineries, learned about local wine production, and had a super interesting visit to the cork factory. (Buy your cork products there rather than in Lisbon!) He adjusted the itinerary a bit to our interests and helped us to get a taste of the local food, drink, and culture. We would absolutely tour with Ricardo again.

Above and Beyond!
Excellent! Our guide, Ricardo, was great! He is knowledgeable of the area, flexible, and entertaining. We felt this is the only way to go. Have your own guide with just a few people. Ricardo had some great suggestions that made the trip very enjoyable. Thanks!

Great wine tour and local landmarks
What a great day of wine tasting, scenic area and history. Pedro was an excellent guide. Not only did he take us to some great wineries for tastings. Also took us to the historical center in Evora and took us around to see the sights. The bonus on top was visiting the cork factory to see how cork is taken from the trees and made into amazing things other than wine bottle stoppers. Highly recommend if you like wine and history.
