From Lisbon: Small Group Évora Tour, Bones Chapel & Wine Tastings
Description
Embark on a small-group day trip that blends centuries of history with the refined pleasures of wine. Travel from Lisbon to Évora’s ancient streets, then into the peaceful Alentejo countryside—renowned for its rich wines, traditions, and timeless charm. Your journey begins in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city where civilizations have left their mark. Step inside the unforgettable Chapel of Bones and reflect on its haunting message: “We bones that are here, await yours.” Continue through cobbled lanes to discover the Roman Temple, Évora Cathedral, and lively artisan squares, before enjoying some free time and a typical Portuguese lunch. On the way to the vineyard, pause at Montemor-o-Novo Castle, a silent medieval sentinel offering sweeping views of the plains. End the day at a family-run winery: stroll the vineyards, learn about grape varieties, and taste four regional wines —while overlooking the Alentejo landscape.

A superb excursion to Evora with Sofia, an excellent guide! She shared a lot of information with us about the history of Portugal and local customs. The village of Evora is magnificent with the Roman temple, the cathedral, the bone chapel, and its pretty streets where you can find marble of different colors. The wine tasting was nice with a tour of the facilities. Finally, we made a stop at the Castelo de Montemor-o-Novo offering an incredible view! Thank you Sofia!
We had an absolutely magical day! Initially, we were supposed to do the tour in a group of 7 people, but we ended up being just the two of us with our guide. It was a truly personalized and privileged tour. Our guide Sofia was very kind, patient, and spoke French. Sofia shared a huge amount of knowledge with us and gave many fascinating explanations throughout the day, the history of Évora, notably at the Chapel of Bones and during the Alentejo wine tasting. A huge thank you to her for her professionalism and good humor. We recommend this tour 100%!
