Itinerary:
10h15/30 - Departs Évora
The adventure begins in Évora, where our driver/guide will be waiting for you to start this tour through the history and traditions of the Alentejo. You'll be transported in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, with the personalized attention that characterizes our tours. The journey will be an introduction to what is to come: vineyards, small charming wineries and the incomparable flavor of Alentejo wines.
11h00 - Arrival and visit to the first winery
The first stop is at one of the selected wineries, where you will be welcomed with warm Alentejo hospitality. The visit begins with a tour of the vineyards wherever possible, where you can learn about the local vines, the authentic Alentejo grape varieties and the farming practices that make the region so special. During the visit, an experienced guide will explain the unique terroir and viticulture techniques that result in premium quality wines.
12h00/30 - Wine Tasting/Lunch
Depending on the winery, there may or may not be two separate moments. At some wineries, the wine tasting will take place during lunch and will be paired with the dishes served. At other wineries, the wine tasting will take place followed by lunch accompanied by the wines of those producers.
Lunch will be prepared with fresh, local ingredients, reflecting the rich gastronomy of the Alentejo. An authentic gastronomic experience that combines perfectly with the peaceful and cosy atmosphere of the Alentejo.
14:30/15:00 - Visit to the Second Winery
After lunch, we head to a second winery, with a different style or size from the first, so that you can contrast techniques, environments and production styles. The visit again includes an explanation of the winemaking process and a new wine tasting, giving you an even broader perspective of the Alentejo's wine diversity.
This second wine tasting will also be carefully guided and will explain the characteristics of each wine and how they reflect the character of the region. Accompanied by regional snacks such as aged cheeses, sausages, olives and Alentejo bread, the tasting will be a true celebration of the authentic flavours of the Alentejo.
16:30/17:00 - Return to Évora
After an afternoon of discoveries and flavours, we return to Évora in peace. The travelling time will be used to relax and absorb everything we've experienced throughout the day. Arrival is scheduled between 5pm and 5.30pm.
