From Lisbon: Évora, Chapel of Bones & Alentejo Wine - Small Group
Description
Embark on a small-group day trip that blends centuries of history with the refined pleasures of wine. Travel from Lisbon to Évora’s ancient streets, then into the peaceful Alentejo countryside—renowned for its rich wines, traditions, and timeless charm. Your journey begins in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city where civilizations have left their mark. Step inside the unforgettable Chapel of Bones and reflect on its haunting message: “We bones that are here, await yours.” Continue through cobbled lanes to discover the Roman Temple, Évora Cathedral, and lively artisan squares, before enjoying some free time and a typical Portuguese lunch. On the way to the vineyard, pause at Montemor-o-Novo Castle, a silent medieval sentinel offering sweeping views of the plains. End the day at a family-run winery: stroll the vineyards, learn about grape varieties, and taste four regional wines paired with cheeses and chorizos—while overlooking the Alentejo landscape.

Value for money! Our guide Rafael is excellent—cheerful, helpful, and truly knows his craft. A must-do tour, especially the vineyard tour and wine tasting, which were very interactive. Our vineyard guide Andrea (July 3, 2026, 3:00 PM), the "Hannah Montana" of the Alentejo vineyard, was incredibly nice and very knowledgeable about her craft. 200% recommended! It was a bit hot during the tour time (July 2, 2026), but with Rafael and the "Hannah Montana" of Alentejo, we felt warm, welcome, and a strong sense of belonging. A definite must-try!
The wine tour was reminiscent of the walk in the clouds. The trip was entertaining as much as it was enjoyably educational. Rafael did a good job shielding us from the force of nature, yet resisted all the wine. Andrea was an inspiration—winemaker in the making.
We had the best experience with the most amazing guide - Rafael! He was so enthusiastic and passionate about the history of Portugal, with an amazing energy despite the 41 degree heat! Absolutely recommend - and his pay needs to be doubled because he made the experience worth every penny ☺️ our tour guide at the Alentejo vineyard was also superb. Highly recommend this experience!

We had a lovely time in Evora and our guide, Pedro, took great care of us. We appreciated all of his deep knowledge of the local and national history. The Church of Bones and the winery tour were highlights. Would definitely book another tour next time we are in Lisbon.
