Amazing experience!
This was an amazing day. We saw incredible views, made our very own cheese, and learned everything there is to know about making wine in Portugal. What an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Ricardo, was extremely gracious and knowledgeable. He knew everything and everybody and really helped make the day special. Highly recommend this trip, especially to get out of the hustle and bustle of Lisbon.

A few things, before you decide.
Yes. This is an 8–9 hour private day: the Setúbal market (Livramento), a hands-on Azeitão cheese-making workshop with regional tastings, village time and lunch in Azeitão at your own expense, a local winery visit and tasting, and Sesimbra Castle above the sea. It suits guests who want food, wine and local craft in one unhurried day.
Why we designed this day
Full Day in Azeitão · Sesimbra. Hands-on cheese making in Azeitão, a selected winery tasting nearby, then sea air and the castle above Sesimbra.
It fits foodies, couples and curious first-timers. The rhythm we hold is cheese workshop, winery tasting, sesimbra — private guide, private vehicle, no group to wait for.
Why this place matters
Queijo de Azeitão is a protected-origin sheep's-milk cheese traditionally set with cardoon flower. Its method ties the dairy to local pastures; the hands-on workshop gives that craft a place in the day, followed by regional wine and Sesimbra.
Quinta Velha
Private Azeitão cheese workshop — hands deep in fresh sheep's milk curd, shape your own wheel.
