Wine Tasting Day Trip from Lisbon with West Portugal Tours | Bus Tour

Just a short drive west from Lisbon lies one of Portugal’s emerging wine regions, where rolling vineyards and historic villages craft the perfect backdrop for a deeply immersive wine tasting experience. West Portugal Tours offers a full-day journey into the terroir and tradition of this landscape, pairing scenic drives with intimate visits to two standout wineries near the village of Cheleiros.

Your day begins about 40 minutes from Lisbon at Adega Mãe, a modern estate perched among sunlit hills. Here, you’re guided through rows of verdant vines, learning how native grape varieties flourish in this mild Atlantic climate. Walk through the barrel rooms where oak casks quietly age robust reds and crisp whites, and taste a broad flight including sparkling, rosé, whites, and hearty reds. The wines reflect the diverse microclimates and soils of the region, offering a genuine sense of place in every sip.

Next, lunch awaits in a traditional Portuguese restaurant specializing in fresh, grilled fish, showcasing local flavors that complement the day’s tastings perfectly. After refueling, the tour heads toward Cheleiros, passing the imposing 18th-century Palácio Nacional de Mafra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose Baroque grandeur charts a historical course through the area.

In Cheleiros, you step into a small community where winemaking revitalizes local heritage. The second winery visit includes a tasting of six distinctive wines, among them the rare Jampal variety—unique to this corner of Portugal. The tasting pairs with rustic bread and locally produced olive oil. A brief walk rounds out the day, revealing a medieval stone bridge built atop Roman foundations.

This thoughtfully curated trip blends education and enjoyment, revealing why Lisbon’s western frontier is becoming a destination for travelers wanting authentic, off-the-beaten-path wine country experiences. West Portugal Tours delivers seamless transport, expert guides, and the chance to savor some of the region’s best wines — all in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
