Wine tour from Lisbon: where we collect you, and whose cellar you sit in.
Two questions decide whether a Lisbon wine tour is worth the day: how you get out of the city, and who is pouring at the other end. Both answers are below, with no padding — the wineries named here are the ones we actually work with, forty minutes south of Lisbon.
RNAAT nº 31/2023
Door to door, not a meeting point.
Lisbon hotels & apartments
Door-to-door collection anywhere in central Lisbon — hotel lobby, apartment door or a street corner if the road is closed to traffic. Your host confirms the exact spot the evening before.
Setúbal, Sesimbra & Almada
If you are already south of the river, we collect you there instead. It shortens the drive to the cellars to twenty minutes or less.
Cascais & Sintra
Possible, and worth saying at booking: the bridge crossing adds around forty minutes each way, so we start earlier and adjust the order of the day.
The wineries on a Lisbon wine tour.
You visit 2 of these on the day, up to 4 when tailored — the pairing depends on the experience you choose and on availability at the family cellars.
A historic Moscatel house in Azeitão
A long-established family winemaking house. A cellar walk, then a tasting that usually begins with Moscatel de Setúbal.
A Palmela estate on the Arrábida hills
An itinerary option where tradition meets newer winemaking, with the vineyards opening straight onto the Arrábida hills.
A small family producer
A small family producer. You taste at least five wines and hear the whole story — label design to bottling — from the people who did it.
A historic Palmela cellar
Optional cellar visit: historic vineyards, time-honored techniques and a curated tasting of the Palmela reds.
A modern Azeitão winery
A contemporary winery paired with a striking art collection, which makes it the easiest visit for a non-wine person in the group.
Before you are collected.
- How many wineries does a Lisbon wine tour visit?
- 2 family wineries included, up to 4 when tailored. Which cellars run depends on same-day availability at the family cellars — we confirm the pairing with you before the day rather than promising five doors we cannot open.
- Where does the wine tour from Lisbon pick me up?
- At your Lisbon hotel or apartment. We also collect from Setúbal, Sesimbra and Almada, and from Cascais or Sintra if you tell us at booking so we can start earlier.
- What time does pickup happen?
- Arrábida and Azeitão wine days are 7–9 hours door to door, so pickup is normally mid-morning. The Évora and Alentejo day is 9–11 hours and starts around 8:00, returning after 19:00.
- Can we choose which wineries we visit?
- You can tell us what you like — Moscatel, small-producer reds, or somewhere the non-drinkers will still enjoy — and your host builds the order around it. We only use the cellars we actually work with.
- Is the whole day private?
- Yes. Your party only, your own host and vehicle. We do not sell seats on shared minibuses, and your host drives and does not taste.
- Can I change my date?
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience.
