Perfect wine tasting - sightseeing experience in Portugal - An unforgettable day trip – highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience on the Arrábida and Sesimbra small group day trip from Lisbon. Our guide, Xavier, was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history of the towns and the wines of the region. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and we enjoyed the perfect balance of sightseeing, learning, and wine tasting. The scenery was stunning, the wines were excellent, and the small group setting made the day feel personal and relaxed. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore beyond Lisbon.

Tour Guide turn into a Wine Connoissuer - To our tour guide 5/19/2025: Nuno
Tour Guide became a wine connosseur
He pays attention with his group. I say that because he pretry much remember all of our name by mid tour. At the end, of the tpur he all calls us via first name. That is something not a lot of tour guide do these days.
Its was something different. Our tour guide turned into a wine connoisseur. The wine selections was great. Its really different wine taste from where I came from.

Delicious Tour! - This was a lovely day that started at a traditional Portugeuse market, from there we drove past scenic views until we got to our first tasing. The wines were all delicious and we got a tour of their operations as well! The second vineyard was excellent as well and had a very different feel with a farm that includes an emulated, goat, donkey, etc ... that you can go pet. Our guide Xander took care of us from start to finish, sharing a lot of interesting information on Protufeuse wine, culture and Fado music. This was a great tour, and a really fun day, definitely worth a day of your trip!

A relaxing yet informative day - This was a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle. The scenery was beautiful , and the wineries were very interesting, even for those who don’t care that much about wine. Rita, our guide, was super-knowledgeable and very personable. She did an excellent job.

We really enjoyed our... - We really enjoyed our tour with Alberto. The scenery was breathtaking. The wines were fantastic. Alberto was a great guide. I never felt rushed on the tour. I loved seeing the video of the famous road and scene from the 1969 James Bond movie and seeing in person where the scene was shot. The pours were generous at the winery. I learned so much about Portugal history yesterday on the tour. Alberto made some great suggestions on restaurants.

This was such a lovely... - This was such a lovely day with a small group of 8! It ended up being longer than we expected but was still filled with beauty and great wine! Along the tour we stopped at different sites for photo opportunities, tasted 6 different wines, visited a winery where they make them. We also had some free time by the beach where our guide Nunu recommended some great places to enjoy fresh seafood!
