Discover the rich flavours and time-honoured traditions of the Arrábida region, a mere 30-minute journey south of Lisbon, on an exclusive day trip.
Your adventure begins with a visit to a traditional Azeitão cheese producer. Gain insight into the artisanal process, from warming raw sheep’s milk to infusing Cardo - a vital ingredient for coagulation. Uncover the secrets of the ageing rooms where the cheese matures. Next, you'll venture to a family-owned winery, steeped in history dating back to 1914, making it one of the oldest in the Palmela region. Delve into the art of winemaking and sample some of their exquisite wines, including their award-winning Muscat. This is perfectly paired with the cheeses you've just seen being crafted. Following this, you'll make your way to a tile workshop that upholds 17th-century craftsmanship. Witness how tiles are created using age-old techniques and even have a go at painting your own tile as a keepsake.
Afterwards, take some leisure time for lunch in the delightful fishing village of Sesimbra, renowned for its fresh fish. Wander around the village at your leisure and savour a meal at a local eatery. Conclude your day with a trip to the Christ Statue, unveiled in 1959. Absorb the sweeping views over Lisbon and snap some memorable photos before heading back.
