2.Portuguese Wine and Cheese Tasting with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 353 reviews · 2 hours · from $70

At From The Vine in central Lisbon, join a two-hour tasting of six wines from different Portuguese regions, paired with local cheeses, charcuterie, and savory snacks. A guide such as Caio, Ricardo, Rebecca, or Kyle leads the session in English, explaining the wines without turning lunch into a lecture.

“The wine was outstanding and the charcuterie was a great pairing. The guide explained the various regions of Portugal and described the wine from each. The shop was a little difficult to find only because we were very early and missed it hiding behind a few trees.”

3.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.”
