Wine & Tapas at Farm Experiences & Tours in Grândola | Farm | Winery

Situated at the foot of the Serra de Grândola, the Wine & Tapas Experience from Farm Experiences & Tours invites guests into a living portrait of Portugal’s Alentejo region’s rural charm and winemaking prowess. Located on the sprawling 45-hectare estate of Banda G1 19, 7570 Grândola, this guided visit takes full advantage of the estate’s distinctive maritime-influenced microclimate—a rarity on the Portuguese coastline where vineyards flourish alongside olive, orange, and cork oak trees.

From arrival, visitors are welcomed by the estate’s producer and led on a thoughtfully narrated journey that traces the origins of the property and the traditional viticulture techniques employed here. The winery itself, recognizable by its palace-like architecture visible from the nearby IC1 highway, offers panoramic views that extend over the village, the undulating Serra hills, and the adjoining plains, creating a vivid backdrop for the tasting.

The tasting experience spotlights three Portuguese grape varieties—two whites and one rosé—each paired expertly with local tapas including rich cheeses, savory sausages, crusty Alentejo bread, and estate-made olive oil. This pairing not only highlights the wines but also the culinary heritage of the region, grounding each sip in local flavor.

Farm Experiences & Tours stands apart in Portugal’s outdoor and culinary itinerary by combining immersive agricultural education with sensory delight, all within a setting that balances natural beauty and cultural heritage. The accessibility of this experience, just minutes from central Grândola, makes it a perfect half-day retreat for travelers keen on authentic, hands-on encounters with Portuguese farm life and wine culture.
