Pick-up and drive to Lisbon´s Fernão Pó Region
Following your pick-up in Lisbon, you will be transferred to Palmela, to discover an old wine region and it´s development. There you will discover the history of two of the main wineries in the region, Filipe Palhoça and Casa Ermelinda Freitas.
Filipe Palhoça Vinhos
To talk about the history of Filipe Palhoça Vinhos, is to talk about a story of love of the vine inherited from father to son. It all began in 1950, when Filipe Jorge Palhoça founded this family business dedicated to wine production in the Setúbal Peninsula. The winery is located in the Palmela region, more specifically in the Poceirão area, right in the heart of the Setúbal Peninsula wine-growing region. In total, they currently have 112 hectares of vineyards spread over 11 properties located in Poceirão, Fernando Pó and Marateca.
Lunch Time... ;-)
Before visiting the second winery, we will go to sample the local gastronomy at a local family-run restaurant owned by a fisherman and his family, located in the Poceirão region. There you will have the chance to delight in local fresh fish from the region. They also have other options to offer, no worries…
Casa Ermelinda Freitas
The second winery will be Casa Ermelinda Freitas. This winery was established in 1920 by Leonilde Freitas. Later continued by her granddaughter, Germana Freitas, and then by her great-granddaughter, Ermelinda Freitas, to whom Casa Ermelinda Freitas owes its name. Ermelinda Freitas ran the company with her daughter, Leonor Freitas, who took over, giving the brand’s characteristic, being one of the few wineries in Portugal that always had female leadership.
The soil of this vineyard, located in the south of Lisbon, is composed of sands very similar to beach sands and is very rich in water, playing an important role in the ripening of the grapes.
The surrounding breeze from the rivers (Tejo and Sado) cools the vines during the dry summers, giving the wines their softness and elegance. It is in these sandy soils that Castelão thrives. The characteristic varietal of the Setúbal Peninsula makes up 40% of Casa Ermelinda Freitas’ vineyards.

“Favourite tour!”
I have been in Portugal for a month, and this is the favourite thing I've done. No words can describe how beautiful the views are in Arrábida. The small towns we drove through were so charming. You will not regret booking this tour with João.

And hello again, dear Elaine, Thank you so very much for the reviews! Glad that we could make a difference in your stay here in Portugal. Nature has always a beauty of it's own and makes our job easier... ;-) Hope to have you back soon! Warmest Regards, Joao Dickmann

“Óbidos and Mafra ”
This is my second tour with João and I have no regrets. Óbidos is a very photogenic town, and it's amazing to see the well-preserved Moorish walls that have been around since the 8th Century. The palace at Mafra is massive, and I am grateful that João was there to guide me through all the rooms. To be honest, I preferred this tour to Sintra, as it felt less “touristy”.

Hello again, dear Elaine, Thank you very much for your trust and friendship. Óbidos & Mafra are "special" locations to visit, as it shows different places around Lisbon that are not that much visited. Thank you for all. Regards, Joao Dickmann

“Rainy Sintra Tour”
Although the severe rains limited some of our activities, João was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and provided great context for all the facts given. It was especially nice to hear about his personal experience growing up in Cascais, and how the area has changed over the years.

Thank you very much for your feedback. It is always very important for us to hear what our travellers have to say. And yes, sadly you were here in one of the rainiest seasons for decades in Portugal. But we still managed to make something out of the day... ;-) Warmest Regards, Joao Dickmann
