The wine worth crossing the river for is on the Setubal Peninsula, the country south of Lisbon where Portugal's native grapes grow and the people who tend them can tell you why they matter.
Our pick
This full-day trip takes you into the Setubal and Azeitao wineries, including the old houses that built the region's name, to taste the local reds and the Moscatel de Setubal, the amber dessert wine the area is famous for. The pace is unhurried and the guidance is specific, so you come away knowing what set each glass apart and why Moscatel de Setubal is the bottle to carry home rather than another generic souvenir.
If our pick doesn't fit
A relaxed seated tasting with cheese pairings inside Lisbon, no day-trip commitment or travel time required.
Combines a Sintra sightseeing day with wine stops so you cover two things in one outing.
