    hrs Estimate Duration

Tour a family-owned winery that sources grapes from its three estates and sample several of the most distinctive wines. Your immersion into these premium wines will take place at Quinta Do Saguinhal, whose distillery is one of the oldest in the region. Both red and white grapes are grown in the sandy-clay soil on the slopes surrounding the estate. It is an idyllic setting for wine production and sampling. While in the cellar, you may taste an elegant red blend made with touriga nacional and syrah grapes, a fruity white blend made with arinto and chardonnay grapes, and perhaps a bold aguardente with a velvety finish. Feel free to ask how the various wines are produced and how the terroir of Quinta Do Saguinhal affects their tastes. A panoramic driving tour through Lisbon will add a historical perspective, especially the photo stop at the Belém Tower, the capital’s ceremonial marine gateway.
