Private Lisbon Southern Region Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch

Start your journey with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or cruise port in Lisbon and head south to the wine-rich region of Palmela. The tour begins with a visit to Filipe Palhoça Vinhos, a family-run winery founded in 1950 and located in Poceirão, at the heart of the Setúbal Peninsula. Today, the winery cultivates 112 hectares of vineyards across 11 properties in Poceirão, Fernando Pó, and Marateca. Discover the legacy passed down through generations and enjoy a guided tasting of their signature wines.

Next, enjoy a stop at a local, family-run restaurant owned by a fisherman and his family. Located in the Poceirão area, the restaurant offers a delicious selection of fresh local fish and other regional specialties, making for an authentic culinary experience.

The second winery visit takes you to Casa Ermelinda Freitas, a historic estate established in 1920 and renowned for its continuous female leadership. With vineyards growing in sandy soils rich in water, and cooled by breezes from the Tejo and Sado rivers, the wines from Casa Ermelinda Freitas are known for their elegance and softness. Castelão, the region’s iconic grape, thrives here and represents 40% of their production.

This private tour offers a perfect balance of wine, food, and local culture, guided by an expert and tailored for small groups.
