One-day Tour: Heritage, Wine, and Food in Lisbon

Start your tour through Lisbon in the city center for a full day, where you will be able to visit Lisbon's main attractions. First visit Lisbon's Cathedral (Sé Catedral), the only building that survived the 1755 earthquake, and go up one of Lisbon's seven hills to reach the Alfama neighborhood, one of the most characteristic areas of the city. Here you will have the opportunity to visit Castelo de São Jorge, an emblematic place in the city, and enjoy one of the most spectacular views.

Go down the typical streets of Lisbon, passing through the Rua Augusta Arch and the Santa Justa Lift. Then, you will reach Praça do Comércio, or if you prefer using its old name, Terreiro do Paço, one of the most famous squares in Europe. The square's western wing used to be the Royal Palace, and now it's the ViniPortugal's Tasting Room, where you can have a commented wine tasting with the enologist, checking one of the must-dos while in Portugal: taste the Portuguese wines.

Since you are a wine and food enthusiast, you can stop for lunch at By the Wine, in the lively Chiado neighborhood, a wine bar where you can also have lunch and taste the best of Portuguese wine and regional products.

After a recharging lunch, follow to Belém area, where you will find the most impressive historic landmarks from the Discovery period: Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the magnetic Belém Tower, and the fantastic Jerónimos Monastery. Since you are in this area, our suggestion is that you follow your instinct (I mean, your stomach) and have a bite at the famous and very typical (and delicious!) Belém's pastry.

This option includes the following experiences:

Lunch at By the Wine: 36€/ person

Guided tour at Lisbon Wines of Portugal Tasting Room: €16,00/ person

Final Price Per Person: From €52

One-day tour to the Wine Estates near Lisbon and the Enchanting City of Óbidos

If you are a true wine enthusiast and want to taste the best Portuguese wines where they are produced and taste the famous Portuguese flavors with the vineyards in sight (or if you are in Lisbon for more than one day and wish to make a different wine and food tour on the second day), we recommend you visit the beautiful and world-recognized wine estates just a few minutes from Lisbon.

Leaving from Lisbon in the morning, head to AdegaMãe, one of the most remarkably designed wineries near Lisbon, for a complete wine tasting and stop for lunch at Quinta do Gradil, a century-old wine estate with a great tradition in winemaking. Here you can enjoy the true Portuguese flavors in a wine lunch while appreciating the most charming view: the green vineyards.

After lunch, we suggest a visit to Quinta do Sanguinhal to learn and taste old wine and brandy and then follow to the largest Oriental Garden in Europe - The Buddha Eden, at Quinta dos Loridos, where you can not only do wine tasting but visit the exotic gardens.

Before coming back to Lisbon, stop for a walk in one of the most charming and lovely medieval villages in Portugal: Óbidos, where you can also taste the typical drink of the village, the famous Ginjinha.
