Inside Lisbon Tours near Lisbon

Starting at: €55 per person

As far as wine tours in Lisbon go, there aren’t many that I would recommend over self-guiding a tour to a local wine farm or cellar where tastings are on offer to the general public. 

That said, Inside Lisbon Tours are worth a mention, as they offer four different wine tour packages that are all worthy of an afternoon in the city — in my opinion!

Their specialty is what they call ‘The Lisbon food and wine walk’, offering an indulgent 3 hour experience to a group of 12 individuals maximum. I particularly love that the famous Portuguese “green wine” is included in this tour, as not many others bother to throw it in! 

This is a great way to get a sense of the history of the city center, the vendors who keep the economy thriving, and the locals who built these neighborhoods and the culture that they hold. Yes, this particular wine tour is done on foot — so wear comfy shoes and be ready to sweat!

Lisbon Winery in Lisbon

Bairro Alto is a hub for food and beverage consumption in Lisbon, and thus wine tasting experiences are also common around these streets. There are a number of wine tasting places close to the Lisbon Winery that aren’t as expensive as this one, but this is the best place for those interested in Port wines specifically.

The grounds of the Bacalhôa Vinhos are interesting because they hold a wine farm, a palace and a museum all at once.

The farm is accessed by taking the Pont de 25 Abril bridge across the Tagus River, into the deep south of Lisbon. It’s a Renaissance wine estate; a place of natural beauty and endless charm.

Wine Bar do Castelo in Lisbon

If you’ve had a day of cultural experiences in Lisbon, such as touring of historic landmarks or a free guided walking tour within the city center, then a sit down wine tasting experience in a casual environment is a great way to close out.

Wine Bar do Castelo lies just slightly north of Bairro Alto. It’s a very laid back little wine bar that offers patrons the option of wine tasting with one of their trained staff, or simply kicking back and drinking & eating to one’s hearts content.
