A salt-scented wind meets the van as it leaves Lisbon, and within an hour the coast opens: white cliffs giving way to secluded bays and low, scrubby hills that slope toward the Atlantic. Guests step out in Azeitão beneath the stone facades of José Maria da Fonseca, moving through cool cellars where barrels and bottle labels map a 19th-century winemaking lineage.
