After your vineyard tour, you'll be well ready to immerse yourself in the flavors of the region's wine. Settle in for a tasting that includes one white, one rosé, and four distinct red wines, all nurtured in the very vineyards you've just admired. These wines are thoughtfully paired with an assortment of typical local "petiscos," and your expert wine guide will be on hand to answer questions and provide fascinating insight into the wine and bites you're sampling.

Then, with glasses emptied and stories shared, it's time to conclude this memorable half-day experience. Board your comfortable van once more and transfer back to Lisbon.
