Indulge in the epicurean excellence of the Algarve region on this delectable tour through several alluring villages.

Journey to the Quinta dos Vales wine estate and partake in several vintages, which may include a fruity rosé, a complex viognier with intense tropical fruit aromas or a full-bodied blend of cabernet sauvignon and trincadeira.

Cleanse your palate with an edifying visit to Silves, the region’s former Moorish capital, which boasts a commanding Gothic cathedral and the 11th-century red sandstone Castelo de Silves, an astonishing structure featuring square turrets and seemingly impenetrable ramparts. Invigorate your appetite with delicious bread fresh from a wood-burning oven in Caldas de Monchique, where steaming thermal waters bubble up throughout the mountains. Prepare for the delicious burn of aguardente, or firewater, a potent brandy distilled from ripe strawberries and sweetened with honey.

Conclude your gastronomic adventure in the ancient maritime town of Lagos, where you’ll linger in a tavern over an irresistible selection of local cheeses and smoked ham.
