6.Private Lisbon-Arrábida Wine Tour: 3 Wineries, Coast & Heritage

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 450 reviews · 7 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $156

This private, 7 to 9 hour outing pairs three winery visits with Setúbal’s Livramento Market, a traditional tile workshop, and scenic stops in Arrábida. Your local guide handles the driving and route, with pickup in Lisbon and several nearby towns. Expect regional wine tastings, fresh oysters and Azeitão cheese, plus an optional lunch at your own expense.

“What a fantastic day! Our guide, Joao did a wonderful job of driving us to two different wineries where we had several tastings and learned about the history of the area. We then went to an off-the-beaten-path restaurant we could have never found on our own. Lots of food and more wine! Joao also stopped at several spots along the way so we could see the beautiful scenery of the spectacular Setubol coastline and take photos. We didn't get to stop at the fish market, but with such a full day, it didn't really matter to us. I would definitely recommend this tour to any wine enthusiasts”

“The tour was great, the sights are beautifull! Great clear blue sea and some amazing cliff formations. Worth the arm pain of the paddling :). The guide was also great and friendly. Only suggestion I would give to the guide is keeping the team together, as at some point on the way back we felt the responsibility to keep an eye of the last kayak as the girls were far behind the rest. Should something happened to them noone would have noticed.”

Lisbon: Arrábida and Sesimbra Day Trip with Wine

10.Arrábida and Sesimbra Day Trip with Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 366 reviews · 8 hours · from $75

Leave central Lisbon for Palmela, Arrábida Natural Park, Sesimbra and wine country south of the city. You’ll visit a family-run estate and the historic José Maria da Fonseca winery, with guided tastings, then stop at Christ the King for views over Lisbon. Guides such as Tomás, João and Rui lead the trip, though the guide varies.

“We had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Our guide, Tomás, was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about Lisbon and the surrounding areas. It was lovely to see some of the surrounding areas outside of Lisbon including Setubal, Sesimbra and Arrábida. The two vineyards could not have been different, but both equally charming in their own ways. I would highly recommend this tour!”

12.Arrábida Natural Park Kayak Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 320 reviews · 8 hours · from $57

Leave Lisbon by minibus for an eight-hour outing on Arrábida’s coast. Paddle past cliffs and, when conditions allow, caves, then take time to swim, snorkel or relax at a beach with a picnic lunch. Kayak gear and transport are included. Guides such as Joao, Nuno and Pedro have led trips with beach games and local stories.

“We had an amazing day. Both Pedro and Jao were amazing in making sure our experience was one of a kind by giving us history of sites but also going the extra mile to make it unique by allowing my 10 year to touch a star fish. We first visited a cave, got to jump off the cliff to then have a lunch prepared by them on a beach with crystal blue waters and white sand. Definitely would recommend it.”
