Which Lisbon wine experience to choose
- Tonight, in town: a one-hour Portuguese wine tasting, or the premium wine and tapas session for better bottles.
- Wine with a meal: the wine and cheese tasting with lunch, or the food and wine walking tour, the most reviewed food experience in Lisbon.
- Port: a guided port tasting, a good start before a trip north to Porto.
- A vineyard without a long drive: Carcavelos, on the coast between Lisbon and Cascais.
- A full day: Arrábida and the Setúbal peninsula for Moscatel and reds, or Sintra with a winery stop.
Tasting in the city
You do not have to go to the Douro to drink well. Lisbon’s tasting rooms and wine bars run guided flights through the Portuguese regions – port, Douro, Dão, Alentejo and Vinho Verde – with a sommelier to explain them, often paired with petiscos and cheese. It is the quickest way to make sense of a wine country most visitors only know for port, and a good evening in its own right.
The day south: Setúbal, Arrábida and Colares
The wine country nearest Lisbon lies just south across the Tagus. The Setúbal Peninsula makes the honeyed Moscatel de Setúbal, one of the world’s classic sweet wines, and the reds and whites of the Arrábida hills; day trips visit two estates with a tasting and lunch. West of the city, the tiny Colares region grows ungrafted vines in the Atlantic sand behind Sintra, a rare survival worth seeking for the curious.
How to visit
City tastings need only a booking; the Setúbal and Arrábida wineries are best done as an organised day with transport so you can taste freely. Combine a tasting with a Lisbon food tour, and for the great river region north, see the Douro Valley and the Porto port lodges.

Setúbal, Arrábida and Moscatel
The Setúbal Peninsula is the easiest wine day from Lisbon. In Azeitão, historic houses such as José Maria da Fonseca, founded in 1834, age Moscatel de Setúbal, an amber fortified wine tasting of orange peel and honey. Around Palmela, the red grape is Castelão. Pair them with Queijo de Azeitão, a creamy sheep’s cheese set with thistle, then drive through the Arrábida natural park to lunch on grilled fish in Sesimbra.
