Private Cheese-Making & Wine Tour: Azeitão & Sesimbra from Lisbon

Embark on a private day of sensory discovery that begins with a relaxed pickup from Lisbon, Almada, Setubal, or Sesimbra and heads straight to Setubal’s vibrant Livramento Market, where stalls overflow with the region’s freshest produce and artisanal specialties. From there, travel to the historic Queijeira of Quinta Velha for an immersive, hands-on workshop that reveals the craft of Azeitão cheese: you’ll explore archival photos, traditional tools, and aging chambers before sampling the creamy, velvety results in a guided tasting that honors centuries-old culinary traditions. Next, continue into the rolling vineyards of the Setúbal Peninsula for an exclusive winery visit, learning the nuances of local terroir while savoring a curated flight of the estate’s finest wines. As late afternoon light bathes the landscape, ascend to Sesimbra’s medieval castle, where sweeping views of the Atlantic coast and the Arrábida mountains provide a dramatic finale to the day’s flavors and stories. With comfortable private transport throughout, this tour blends markets, cheese, wine, and history into one seamless, indulgent journey.
