Our Alentejo journeys go beyond simple sightseeing. We coordinate unique partner experiences that reveal the soul of the region.

Local detail
The Alentejo region offers a distinct charm, characterized by its rolling plains, cork oak forests, and ancient megalithic sites. Our itineraries often include visits to Évora, a city rich in history, where you can explore its impressive cathedral and the Chapel of Bones. Beyond Évora, we coordinate experiences in lesser-known but equally captivating towns. Consider a visit to Arraiolos, renowned for its intricate hand-embroidered carpets, where you can observe artisans at work. Or perhaps a journey to Vila Viçosa, home to the magnificent Ducal Palace, a testament to Portuguese royalty.
For those with an appreciation for wine, the Alentejo is a treasure trove. We can arrange exclusive visits to distinguished wineries around Borba or Redondo, allowing you to sample robust local varietals directly from the source. The region's culinary scene is equally compelling, featuring dishes like açorda à alentejana (bread soup) and succulent black pork. Our itineraries ensure you have opportunities to savor these authentic flavors, whether at a Michelin-starred restaurant or a rustic, family-run tavern. Each element is carefully chosen to highlight the best of Alentejo, providing a deep and rewarding exploration.
