Our journey begins in Sintra with a visit to the iconic Pena Palace, one of Portugal’s most remarkable landmarks. Perched atop the Sintra Mountains, this 19th-century Romantic masterpiece dazzles with its vivid colors, eclectic architecture, and fairytale-like charm. As we ascend to the palace, you'll enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding forests and coastline. Once inside, wander through ornately decorated rooms filled with royal history, art, and furnishings that reflect the opulence of Portugal's past. Outside, the lush park surrounding the palace is a wonder of exotic trees and hidden pathways, inviting exploration and offering countless photo opportunities. Whether it’s the vibrant towers, the sweeping terraces, or the storybook setting, Pena Palace never fails to enchant. This visit is a highlight of our tour and a must-see for anyone looking to experience the magic of Sintra.
After visiting the palace, we head to the beautiful Colares region, one of the oldest wine-producing areas in Portugal. Nestled between the Sintra mountains and the Atlantic coast, this unique region is known for its rare grape varieties and traditional winemaking methods. You'll visit a local winery and enjoy a guided wine tasting, where you'll sample distinctive wines made from grapes grown in sandy soils near the sea—an unusual technique that protects the vines from disease and gives the wines a unique character. Learn about the centuries-old traditions of Colares wine production, the challenges of cultivating in this environment, and the heritage that makes these wines so special. The peaceful surroundings and authentic flavors make this a truly memorable and sensory-rich experience, perfect for wine lovers and curious travelers alike.
Next, we make our way to Azenhas do Mar, a stunning seaside village perched dramatically on the cliffs of the Sintra coastline. With its whitewashed houses cascading down toward the Atlantic and natural ocean pool below, this postcard-perfect location is one of Portugal’s hidden gems. Here, we’ll stop for a relaxing lunch in a local restaurant chosen with the help of your guide, where you’ll enjoy fresh seafood, regional dishes, and high-quality Portuguese wines—all while taking in the breathtaking ocean views. The tranquil atmosphere and charming setting make this a perfect break to recharge and savor the local flavors. Don’t forget to try one of the traditional desserts from the region to complete the experience. Azenhas do Mar offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, culinary delight, and authentic Portuguese coastal life.
