Highlights
- Sintra - Visit the stunning and historic town of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore its charming streets, the Sintra National Palace, fountains, churches, chapels, and shrines.
- Colares - We’ll stop by a fantastic wine shop in Sintra. On this village farm, wine production was halted 100 years ago. The current owners, with the help of Portuguese and French experts, have studied the local soil and climate, modernized production, and revived their vineyards. They now produce high-quality red and white wines that are recognized both nationally and internationally.
- Adega Regional de Colares - Colares, the most unique appellation in the world. The cooperative winery at Colares (Adega Regional de Colares) was established in 1931. Today, it accounts for more than 50% of the region’s total production and plays a significant social role. Its beautiful building dates back to the late 19th century and features an impressive interior with wooden barrels, casks, and vats with a total capacity of over 1 million liters. It is the premier location for maturing and aging wines from this appellation.
- Azenhas do Mar - Next, visit Azenhas do Mar, a coastal village in the municipality of Sintra known for its picturesque landscape.
- Praia das Macas - Then, take a short drive to Praia das Maçãs, a popular beach with golden sand and clear water. Locals often visit to enjoy the ocean and the nearby saltwater swimming pool.
- Cabo da Roca - Discover Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. From the cliff tops, take in the fantastic views of the beaches and the sea.
- Guincho Beach - On the way back, we’ll have the chance to visit this unique beach with its famous dunes. It’s a true haven for surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing.
- Cascais - Finally, we can’t leave without visiting the charming town of Cascais. This former fishing village was once a royal retreat and remains one of the most attractive destinations for both Portuguese and international elites, offering boutiques, restaurants, hotels, beaches, and much more.

The Most Amazing Lisbon Tour Experience - I booked this experience for my best friends birthday and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Our guide, now friend, Jose, was an absolute pleasure. He curated our whole tour and was extremely knowledgeable. His personality is not only charming, but a joy to be around. I would come back to Lisbon just for another trip with him! Highly recommend!

A great private wine tour experience with Jose - Highly recommend the private wine tour with Jose, very friendly and reliable tour guide/driver. Jose picked us from the hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day. Beyond the delicious wine, you get to see many beautiful spots in Colares and Sintra regions. Jose also made sure that we had plenty of time in Cascais (beautiful town) to enjoy a fantastic seafood and have time to explore the town and some delicious gelato.

He is genuinely a true gentleman with great knowledge of the country. Jose is very funny man and made our group of 4 extremely comfortable and happy. A must for anyone visiting the area

You better book this activity ! You will not regret it! - You better book this activity! This set the tone for our Portugal trip. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. My best friend and I made the mistake of getting wasted the night before, so we were super hungover on this wine tour. They made sure we were super comfortable and enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide was the amazing Miguel Safara. He is one cool dude !! And he has kept in touch with us since our arrival back to America. Here are some of my highlights. The first wine stop- please have your coins ready because you need to take some of this wine home. Amazing and the view is undeniable. Miguel took the time to teach us history and take us to random spots. Please please book this Portugal activity - you will not regret it. Miguel, thank you for making our trip amazing!!! There is so much more to say but you should experience it for yourself!!!!

Jose gave us the best experience! Recommend to anybody! - Jose was an amazing guide! We loved every moment of our experience. He kept us entertained, taught us a lot, and cater the experience to our needs/wants. We feel very lucky to have had him. The experience itself was also fantastic! We LOVED our private wine tasting with a view right across the street from the castle. We loved the wine so much we sent 6 bottles home! We also throughly enjoyed our lunch on the beach- super fresh seafood. We would recommend this to anybody!

Unforgettable Azenhas do Mar and Cascais Day Trip - Jose is a very interesting guide. Besides our wine tasting, he suggested lots of beautiful places for us to visit. Highlight will be the Azenhas de Mar, the scenery here was stunning. Neptuno Bar for lunch was great, Praia das Maçãs was such a nice beach for family. We also went to the western most point, Cabo da Roca, remember has to tide your hair, the wind was so strong here. Then along the way back to Cascais was all beautiful scenery.
