A short drive south of Lisbon drops you into a landscape where sun-creased vineyards slope toward the Sado estuary and the limestone shoulders of the Arrábida hills. The minivan eases through low stone walls and cork oaks; inside, a guide sketches the day’s route and teases the Moscatel Roxo you’ll taste later.
