Itinerary
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!
Meeting Point
Any hotel/airbnb in central Lisbon
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.

“Great guide for our group of wine club members”
Joao was an incredible guide for our large group of 20 for two days around Lisbon and the wine region. Our group are wine club members from a winery in the USA and had a great trip with Joao educating us on Portuguese wines. His knowledge of the local wines was invaluable to our group. He also made the education entertaining and added his special flair, which was wonderful for this active and engaging group. Thank you Joao for two wonderful days in Lisbon that our wine club members will cherish for a lifetime.
