Lisbon South Sights and Wine Private Tour
Arrábida Natural Park, medieval fortresses, a fisherman village, and one of Portugal's finest wine regions — all in a single private day.
This full-day private tour takes you south of Lisbon to explore the Arrábida Natural Park, where dramatic chalk cliffs, turquoise Atlantic waters, and dense green mountains create one of the most striking coastal landscapes in Portugal. The journey also covers medieval history, a traditional fishing village, and a wine-tasting session in the Setubal wine region.
Crossing the iconic 25th April Bridge over the Tagus River sets the tone for a day of contrast and discovery. Along the way, you will encounter historical fortresses that changed hands between Moorish and Christian forces across centuries, revealing layers of Iberian history that few visitors take the time to explore.
The afternoon brings a visit to a renowned local winery, where you will taste wines produced in one of Portugal's richest wine-growing regions. Before returning to Lisbon, the Christ the King monument offers a sweeping panoramic viewpoint over the city and the Tagus, bringing the day full circle.

Itinerary Overview
Your guide collects you directly from your hotel or apartment and heads south across the Tagus River via the 25th April Bridge, one of the longest bridges in Europe. Along the river margins, you may observe clam diggers at work in the estuary shallows.
Stop at a historic defensive fortress that was repeatedly conquered and rebuilt by Moorish and Christian forces throughout the medieval period. The route then continues into the dense forests of Arrábida Natural Park, revealing an immense coastline where white chalk cliffs, blue sea, and green mountain vegetation meet.
Arrive in Sesimbra, one of the oldest and most picturesque fishing villages in Portugal. Visit the Moorish castle perched above the village for sweeping views over the coastline and rooftops below.
Pass through forest trails to reach an ancient sanctuary set dramatically on the edge of a sea cliff. A stop in the village also gives you the opportunity to sample traditional Portuguese fish-based dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients.
Visit one of Portugal's most celebrated wineries in the Setubal wine region for a guided tasting session. Alternative quality wine venues are always available should the primary winery be unavailable on the day.
Stop at the Christ the King statue, one of Lisbon's most iconic landmarks and a sweeping viewpoint over the city. Cross back over the 25th April Bridge and return to your hotel or apartment.
