Arrábida and Sesimbra Wine Tour

Our small group Arrábida and Sesimbra Wine Tasting Day Trip with Inside Lisbon was, without question, one of the highlights of our time in Portugal. A huge part of what made the day so special was our guide, Alberto. From the moment we were picked up, he was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his country with us. His commentary throughout the day was informative, engaging, and full of interesting local history and stories, while his friendly personality made everyone in the group feel included and relaxed. The itinerary was perfectly balanced. The two wineries were completely different, giving us a wonderful insight into the diversity of Portuguese winemaking. Rather than feeling repetitive, each visit had its own unique character, atmosphere, and selection of wines, making the tastings both enjoyable and educational. Beyond the wine, the stunning scenery in the Arrábida Natural Park was breathtaking, and the visit to Sesimbra was another highlight. We had plenty of time to explore, enjoy the coastal views, and soak up the charm of this beautiful fishing town. The day was well-paced throughout, never feeling rushed but also making the most of every stop. Alberto's excellent organisation, local knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm elevated what was already an excellent tour into an unforgettable experience. He happily answered questions, shared recommendations, and clearly took pride in ensuring everyone had a fantastic day. If you're looking for a day trip from Lisbon that combines spectacular scenery, authentic Portuguese culture, excellent wines, and an outstanding guide, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you, Alberto, and the team at Inside Lisbon for a truly memorable day.. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time with our guide, Alberto, during this experience. We stopped at 2 wineries and were able to learn about the history of winemaking in Portugal at one and enjoy a more casual experience at the other. We also stopped to take in the many beautiful views and small coastal towns along the way. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to spend a day exploring a bit beyond Lisbon while tasting regional wines!

Had a lovely experience meeting new friends and seeing new places. Our guide was knowledgeable and welcoming and the small group format made it easy to engage in the adventure. The wineries represented significantly different styles on the production spectrum in Portugal…so lots to learn.

This was such an easy to navigate excursion! The meetup point was easy to find and Alberto was out front waiting for everyone when I arrived. We hopped in the van and took off for our first stop. I would recommend having something to eat prior to meeting just because there isnt really an opportunity to get much until lunchtime. We did stop at a market and were able to get coffee and pastries though on the way. The wine tastings were great. The first one had a lot of history and the second one was very laid back and relaxing. Alberto shared his knowledge about Portugal and answered all our questions. He gave us plenty of time to hang out wherever we were or keep moving. Never felt bored or rushed. There was some walking but not a lot so you can get away without wearing tennis shoes. This was a great addition to my trip to see and do the things I wanted to see/do in one day. Overall a great time! Would definitely recommend.

we had a funtime with our guide " Nunu " today. We espically enjoyed the 2nd Winery Al cube.
