Arrábida & Azeitão Wine Tour from Lisbon: Private Full-Day
Description
One hour south of Lisbon, the Serra da Arrábida drops straight into the Atlantic, and the village of Azeitão has been making wine since 1834 in the cellars of José Maria da Fonseca, the oldest table-wine company in Portugal. You start on the panoramic ridge road of the Arrábida Natural Park, stop at viewpoints over the blue bays, far from the Sintra crowds. In Azeitão, a guided visit takes you through the José Maria da Fonseca cellars, where casks of Moscatel de Setúbal have been ageing for generations, followed by a tasting of the house wines. Then visit a working azulejo workshop, where painters still decorate tiles by hand and you can paint your own if you like, and finish with the village classics: Azeitão sheep's cheese and the famous tortas. In summer, roughly early June to mid September, the access roads to the Arrábida beaches close to private cars for most of the day. Your guide knows the rules and plans the route around them, so your day flows instead of ending at a barrier.

We had a great experience touring Lisbon on our private tour with Ricardo. He had such obvious competence and knowledge of the city that we put ourselves in his hands and he did not disappoint. We drove to several locations in the Lisbon area and Ricardo explained their importance, where we could shop and the best places to snack or eat. After a thoroughly enjoyable morning we went to the castle of Sintra. Ricardo accompanied us on the tour and was a wealth of knowledge on the general history of Portugal and the individual aspects of the castle and its inhabitants. Strongly recommend that you ask for Ricardo--you will not be disappointed and you will definitely learn something.

The palace was beautiful and Sintra was a magical town in and of itself. I love the whole experience - from touring Sintra to exploring the coastline.

We spent a full day visiting Cascais and Sintra. Fernando was our guide and he taught us so much of the history of the area. We were impressed with all the knowledge he had of the areas and the absolute beauty of the areas we were touring. We highly recommend this tour and this guide! So professional from start to finish.
