Private Full Day Wine Tour to Óbidos with 2 Wineries
A full-day private journey through medieval Óbidos, two distinct wineries, and the storied wine culture of the Lisbon region.
This private wine tour to Óbidos combines immersive cellar visits, guided tastings, and a walk through one of Portugal's best-preserved medieval towns. Reserved exclusively for your group, the experience is tailored to allow genuine engagement with local winemakers and regional traditions.
The day begins with a visit to a family-run estate where traditional winemaking methods have been passed down through generations. The intimate setting encourages an honest conversation about viticulture, the local terroir, and the character of wines produced in the Lisbon appellation.
The second stop shifts to a modern cellar, where contemporary techniques and innovation shape a contrasting range of wines. Across both visits, guests taste six wines, building a layered understanding of what makes this region distinctive.
Beyond the wineries, the historic walled town of Óbidos provides a compelling backdrop. Its narrow cobbled lanes, whitewashed houses, and intact medieval ramparts offer a rare glimpse into Portugal's architectural and cultural heritage, rounded off by tasting the iconic Ginjinha served in a handmade chocolate cup.
