Discover the flavors and traditions of the Arrábida region (30m South of Lisbon) on a private day trip from Lisbon. Visit a Local cheese producer, a Hand-made tile workshop, and a family-run winery.

Begin your day by visiting a traditional Azeitão cheese producer. Learn about the handmade process, from the heating of raw sheep’s milk to the infusion of Cardo, essential for coagulation. Discover the chambers where the cheese is aged. Continue to a family-run winery, one of the oldest in the Palmela region, dating back to 1914. Learn about the winemaking process and taste some of their wines including their award-winning Muscat, paired with the cheeses that you just saw being made. Next, head to a tile workshop that preserves 17th-century artisanal methods. See how tiles are made using traditional techniques and paint your own tile to take home as a souvenir. Have free time for lunch in the charming fishing village of Sesimbra, known for its fresh fish. Explore the village at your own pace and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant. End your day with a visit to the Christ Statue, inaugurated in 1959. Take in the panoramic views over Lisbon and capture some photos before heading back.

Exceptional experience

This is a must do…Joao was an incredible tour guide, he made our day exceptional, memorable and a one of a kind experience. He made sure it was personalized and immersed in cultural opportunities by taking us to a local tile shop, an amazing fresh market, a large family owned wine vineyard and one that was much more intimate and a local favorite. His knowledge was vast and deep we learned a lot, made lifelong memories ! We hope to use him again in the future, I would like to go on the wine cheese and food tour. It sounds sublime.
