Full description
Discover the magic of Pena Palace and its gardens before immersing yourself in wine culture in Torres Vedras with an exclusive tasting of four wines and local products in an idyllic setting.
The adventure begins in the heart of Lisbon, from where we will travel in a comfortable minivan to romantic Sintra. Our first immersion will be in the surroundings of the Pena Palace, one of the most dazzling gems of 19th-century Romanticism in Europe. Accompanied by an expert guide, we will enter its historical gardens to appreciate a collection of exotic trees brought from all corners of the world, which gives this environment an aura of mystery and unparalleled charm. After exploring this UNESCO-protected Cultural Landscape, we will leave the mountain mists behind and head to Torres Vedras, in the heart of the Lisbon wine region.
Upon arrival at a prestigious local winery, we will be greeted by a viticulturist who will guide us through the history of the place, from traditional methods to the innovation of modern facilities. We will visit an ancient wine press house surrounded by picturesque houses and manicured gardens, taking a journey back in time to understand how the identity of Portuguese wine was forged.
The experience culminates with a professional tasting of four different wines, made from the same grapes we will have seen in the surrounding vineyards. This tasting is accompanied by a varied selection of local products and traditional tapas, creating the perfect pairing. It is time to raise our glasses and toast to a day that masterfully balances the historical heritage of Sintra and the gastronomic richness of the Torres Vedras hills before returning to the capital.
