• 25 de Abril Bridge - After being picked up from your accommodation in Lisbon, we will cross our own “Golden Gate” bridge, heading south to Palmela/Poceirão. We’ll leave the city behind and enjoy the scenic landscape of grape vines and farm fields.
• Filipe Palhoca Wines - The history of Filipe Palhoça Vinhos is a tale of a love for the vine passed down from father to son. It all started in 1950 when Filipe Jorge Palhoça founded this family business dedicated to wine production in the Setúbal Peninsula. The roots of the winery trace back to a small establishment owned by his father, João Loureiro Palhoça. Located in the Palmela region, specifically in the Poceirão area, the winery is at the heart of the Setúbal Peninsula wine-growing region. They currently have 112 hectares of vineyards spread across 11 properties in Poceirão, Fernando Pó, and Marateca. Come and explore their wines.
• Poceirão - For lunch, we will visit “O Pescador,” a local family-owned restaurant run by a fisherman and his family, situated in the Poceirão region. Here, you can savor fresh local fish from the area. They also offer other options, so no worries… Please note that we may choose another local restaurant if this one is unavailable.
• Casa Ermelinda Freitas - This winery was founded in 1920 by Leonilde Freitas and later continued by her granddaughter, Germana Freitas, and then by her great-granddaughter, Ermelinda Freitas, after whom Casa Ermelinda Freitas is named. Following the untimely death of her husband, Ermelinda Freitas continued to run the company with her daughter, Leonor Freitas, who took over and gave the brand its unique character. It is one of the few wineries in Portugal that has always been led by women. The vineyard’s soil, located south of Lisbon, is composed of sands similar to beach sands and is rich in water, which plays a crucial role in grape ripening. The surrounding breezes from the Tejo and Sado rivers cool the vines during the dry summers, imparting softness and elegance to the wines. Castelão, the characteristic varietal of the Setúbal Peninsula, thrives in these sandy soils and makes up 40% of Casa Ermelinda Freitas’ vineyards.
