Portuguese Wine Tasting Tour

Portuguese Wine Tasting Tours in Lisbon offer an immersive journey through Portugal's incredibly diverse wine landscape. While port wine gets the international spotlight, Portugal produces exceptional table wines from unique indigenous grape varieties found nowhere else in the world - over 250 native varieties! These guided tastings showcase wines from Portugal's major regions: crisp, slightly effervescent Vinho Verde from the north; powerful reds from the Douro Valley; elegant wines from Dão; full-bodied Alentejo reds and whites; and coastal wines from Lisboa and Setúbal regions. Expert sommeliers guide you through 5-7 carefully selected wines, explaining the terroir, grape varieties (Touriga Nacional, Alvarinho, Arinto, Baga), and winemaking traditions. Many tours include visits to historic wine cellars, pairing experiences with Portuguese cheeses and olive oils, and insider knowledge about Portugal's emerging wine scene. You'll discover why Portuguese wines offer exceptional value and unique flavor profiles that stand apart from better-known European wines. The educational component covers Portugal's 2000-year winemaking history, modern sustainable practices, and how to read Portuguese wine labels. Tours range from intimate 3-hour tastings in Lisbon wine bars to full-day excursions to nearby wine regions like Setúbal or Palmela. Small group sizes (typically 6-12 people) ensure personalized attention and opportunities for questions. Whether you're a wine novice or enthusiast, these tours reveal why Portugal is one of Europe's most exciting wine destinations.
