Western Portugal Wine Tour

Tour Description

This full-day private tour invites you to taste some of the best wnies of Portugal from the demarcated Wine Region of Western Portugal. In addition to the wine tasting with local cheese and sausages, the tour includes a visit to the grapes area and an explanation of the process of creating the wines. A variety of wines produced in the sub-region of Bombarral are an invitation to all of those that wish to travel through the flavors provided by the local Red & White Wines.

Departing from Lisbon, you’ll move towards the West. Entering the rural region, you'll leave urban society behind to encounter “Quinta do Sanguinhal”, a farm responsible for the production of some of the best local wines. With the particular environment and production conditions, the grapes Cabernet Sauvignon, Aragonez and, Touriga Nacional gain their own identity in this region of Portugal, developing into an enchanting and elegant wine.

From this farm, you’ll continue to the wonderful and well preserved small medieval village of Óbidos. You will have the opportunity to travel back in time and enjoy a local traditional drink “Ginginha”. This is a cherry liquor tasted in a small cup of chocolate (one of the peculiarities of this drink).

The time for lunch is approaching and you’ll continue on towards the West to the Atlantic Ocean at the small city of Nazaré. Here, some of the best restaurants for seafood are options, and you can eat beside a beach decorated with the deep blue of the ocean. After lunch, a small travel will take you to the top of Nazaré, to a local promontory (Sítio) where a magnificent landscape view awaits you.

It is time to create a contrast between the traditional farm visited in the morning and a new one, the “Quinta dos Loridos”, an aristocratic property with a higher dimension. Taste the excellent wines here, blended from such grapes as Renoit, Merlot, and Arinto, among others. This visit completes a wealthy perspective of the West Region of Portugal. It is time now to return back to Lisbon, with a different flavor in your memories, based on the experiences lived today.

Note:

For those that are coming from cruises, needing to return early to Lisbon, the visit to “Quinta Dos Loridos” should not be considered.
