Set out from Lisbon for a full day in Évora, a UNESCO-listed town where medieval streets, whitewashed façades and Roman vestiges create a beguiling atmosphere.
Wander through Giraldo Square, the vibrant civic heart, and take in the imposing silhouette of Évora Cathedral rising above narrow lanes. Step into the remarkable Chapel of Bones, an unusual and evocative interior where centuries of history leave a striking impression.
Beyond monuments, the day reveals regional life and winemaking traditions. You will visit a traditional cellar to learn about local viticulture and observe the processes behind production, from vine to bottle. Taste a carefully selected range of wines matched with regional snacks that bring out the distinctive aromas and flavours of Alentejo grapes.
The return journey to Lisbon offers time to reflect on the architecture, culture and gastronomy encountered during the day. This experience blends sensory discovery with historical insight, making for a memorable introduction to Évora’s heritage and the characterful wines of the surrounding countryside.
