A salt-scented breeze pushes across a turquoise cove as limestone cliffs lift inland to a green ridge—this is Serra da Arrábida. On a private full-day wine excursion from Lisbon you move through that coastal theater: stopping at cliffside lookouts, wandering a fishing town promenade and stepping into small, sun-warmed wineries where Moscatel and robust reds wait.
