— What to expect
Alentejo is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets — and quietly, one of its most exciting food and wine regions.
This is a place of wide open landscapes, ancient olive groves, and slow, generous living. Long lunches stretch into the afternoon. Wines are bold, elegant and deeply rooted in the land. And the food — simple on the surface — reveals a depth of flavour that stays with you long after you’ve left.
This is not a tour you could easily put together yourself.
It’s a carefully curated journey into the heart of Alentejo, shaped by the people who know it best — winemakers, chefs, producers and friends who open their doors to us. Expect unhurried meals, behind-the-scenes access, and those magical moments that can’t be planned… only experienced.
If you love discovering places before everyone else catches on — this is for you.
This tour is a feast for anyone passionate about wine, food, and culture. The schedule is full, but all you’ll need to decide is one thing: red or white?
