About this experience
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 paired with cheeses and chorizos—while overlooking the Alentejo landscape.
