Exkursion: Private Wine Tasting Tour in the District of Setúbal

On this day tour, you’ll be heading south from Lisbon to the Azeitão region, which is noted for its cheese and wines. You’ have the chance to visit two regional wine cellars as well as a special liqueur producer, offering some rare liqueurs. You won't leave without tasting the region´s locally produced, delicious wines and samples of local cheese and sweets. Marvel at the spectacular natural environment surrounding you and enjoy the fun-filled excursion.

Your first stop will be at the renowned wine cellars of José Maria da Fonseca. Learn about the winery’s history, the viticulture and taste some full-bodied wines.

Next, you’ll visit Quinta de Alcube. The wine cellar is family owned for over a century. In their traditional cellar they produce the small amount of only 250,000 liters a year. As the wines are directly sold to customers, it is difficult to assess them elsewhere – you belong to the selected circle who has the chance to taste them.

Last but not least you’ll head to another family owned cellar, Lima Fortuna. Here you’ll get to know the groceries they produce and sample the herb cheeses and famous sweets. The highlight is a liqueur made from an over 450-year-old recipe. In addition to all the tastings, you can admire the views of the Arrábida Natural Park and the mountain there.

You'll be picked up and dropped off at your hotel in Lisbon or the cruise port.
