Step by Step
This excursion to Evora from Lisbon with guided tour and wine tasting takes you to the heart of the Alentejo, a region known for its golden plains, white villages and excellent wines. Departing from Lisbon city centre in the morning, you will travel by bus through landscapes of olive groves, vineyards and cork oaks to reach Évora, a town that has preserved its medieval layout and Roman traces intact.
Upon arrival, you'll start a guided walking tour of the historic centre, where you'll discover why Évora was recognised as a World Heritage Site. You will stroll through its narrow streets and charming squares while your guide explains the evolution of the city, from the Roman period to the medieval and Manueline influence that you will see reflected in its buildings and monuments.
The tour includes the entrance to the Cathedral of Évora, a majestic gothic style temple and one of the symbols of the city, and the impressive Chapel of Bones, famous for its walls covered with human bones and skulls. This visit, as impressive as it is fascinating, is thought-provoking and has become one of Évora's must-sees.
After getting to know the most historical and monumental part, the experience continues at a nearby winery or estate, where you can discover another side of the Alentejo: its wine-making tradition. There you will participate in a guided wine tasting, learning about the local varieties and the winemaking process, while tasting some of the region's wines.
After the tasting, you will return to Lisbon with the feeling of having experienced a very complete day, combining heritage, landscape and flavours in one of the most special places in the interior of Portugal.
