Lisbon: Guided Wine Tasting Experience

About Lisbon: Guided Wine Tasting Experience

The Lisbon: Guided Wine Tasting Experience is a two-hour guided wine tasting held at Lisbon Food and Drinks, a dedicated food and drink venue in central Lisbon. The session covers four Portuguese wines, each introduced by a live guide with notes on origin, grape variety, and flavour profile. Portugal's wine regions span from the Minho in the north, home to Vinho Verde, to the Alentejo plains and the Douro Valley, and the selection draws on this breadth to give participants a grounded sense of the country's output.

The tasting is paired with focaccia and two cheeses, chosen to complement the wines being poured. The format is relaxed and conversational rather than formal, making it accessible to those new to wine as well as those with some existing knowledge.

What to expect

Guests meet at Largo Luís de Camões, a central square in Lisbon's Chiado neighbourhood, before moving to the tasting venue. Over the two hours, the guide walks through each of the four wines in sequence, covering aroma, taste, and the region or producer behind the bottle. The cheese and focaccia are served alongside the wines rather than as a separate course, so the pairing element is built into the tasting itself. Tickets cover the guided session, all four wine pours, and the food accompaniments. The experience runs for approximately two hours and is not wheelchair accessible.
