This is a bucolic tour with breathtaking views over the sea and a classic convertible that will drive you always in a responsible way. Discover some of the best wines in the world and the most beautiful demarcated wine-growing regions located between the hills and the Atlantic Ocean.

Portugal is a country with a strong winemaking tradition, we have some of the best wines in the world and behind a good wine there is always a beautiful landscape.

Sintra’s gastronomy is varied and rich and will make this experience unforgettable. Every time we talk about sweets and pastry we must inevitably highlight the “Queijadas de Sintra”’ (Sintra tartlets), an ancient sweet which dates back to the Middle Ages. But there are other gastronomic treasures that should be tasted: ‘”Travesseiros” or ”Fofos de Belas” in addition to jam produced according to traditional preparation methods and you’ll be able to taste some of these.

One of the advantages of this tour is the private driver / storyteller. Besides being a great expert of the area and endowed with tremendous sympathy, our driver will take care of everything, you’ll just need to enjoy the flavors and the whole experience without worrying about anything else.
