Experience a quintessential Portuguese combination of stunning cliff-top views, beautiful seaside landscapes, and exquisite wine tasting.
The tour begins south of Lisbon, across the Tejo River, at Espichel Cape. This sacred point facing the Atlantic has been revered for thousands of years. Once a site of worship for the moon goddess, it later became a significant pilgrimage destination honoring the Virgin Mary.
Next, we visit a 9th-century Arabic-built castle perched above the charming fishing village of Sesimbra. From this historic vantage point, we begin a scenic drive through the protected Arrábida Reserve. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking ocean views, and if you’re lucky, spot dolphins playing in the waters below.
We conclude the day in Azeitão, a region renowned for its Muscatel wines and creamy cheeses. Here, you’ll visit a traditional azulejo (tile) factory to witness this ancient craft, followed by a winery tour where you can sample regional varietals.
