BUILD A TOUR ALL TOURS

Just an hour from Lisbon, this one day food and wine tour of the Alentejo will satiate your senses in every way possible. You’ll experience large swatches of land dotted with perfectly round pine trees, and scraggly olive and holm-oak forests, that cast long, obscure shadows. Florescent wildflowers blanket the valleys, large horns from gigantic steers peek over undulating hills, and ancient Dolomite ruins create a majestic setting for a culinary adventure. Savor creamy bread soups seasoned with purslane or cilantro; the infamous Carne do Porco Alentejana stew made with pork and clams served over a bed of potatoes; delicious Alentejano steaks; and secretos de porco made from the famed black footed pig, used in Spain for the glorious jamon de bellota. Sip upon bold, flavorful wines filled with character at a stunning winery nestled in the heart of the region; and finally, enjoy a private walking guided tour through Évora’s historic center. This region is considered one of the most beautiful and breathtaking region’s in Portugal, making it the perfect day trip from Lisbon. 

Highlights:

  • Private Chauffeured vehicle with an English speaking driver
  • Exclusive tasting and VIP tour at a top winery
  • A diverse gourmet tapas lunch – traditional to the Alentejo
  • Private half-day cultural tour of Evora with a local expert guide

Catavino is highly professional and will stop at nothing to give you an incredible, unforgettable time. All the biggest highlights from my recent trip to Portugal and Spain were made possible by Catavino. I know how much work goes into it- thank you so much Ryan and team. I’d trust you with my holidays any time.

Create your own Delicious Portuguese Jam this Holiday

written by Gabriella Opaz | 12th December 2016

Fragrant, seasonal fruits and vegetables aren’t all that you’ll find at Bolhão Market. Many of the produce vendors transform their sappy melons, juicy tomatoes and gigantic gourds into tantalizing doces (jams), geleias (jelly), compotas (preserves) and marmelada (quince paste). Tomato jam is especially common in Portuguese homes as is Doce de Gila, made from the gila gourd — a type of spaghetti squash. These are especially delicious once you learn their grandmother secrets to making Portuguese jams and jellies. What makes these fruits and vegetables unique is their source. Many of the vendors at Bolhão remain connected to their villages farther north. Maria Teixeira, for instance, gets her vibrant gourds from her mother’s farm in Penafiel. When in Portugal, pay a visit to the market to pick up a few jars of these homemade treats. Perfect to enjoy in your airbnb or to take home with you. Want to learn...
