Winery tour is available and their appointments are somewhat flexible…read more Tastings are €12 for premium and €5 for standard. It is still possible to do a tasting without an appointment, but it is always a good idea to call ahead because the location is in middle of nowhere. You can always opt out on the tour and go straight to the tasting at the bar. This winery also sells the famous olive oil that you perhaps may have seen in the various restaurants in Portugal. Prices are decent, so stock up if you can or if your luggage allows it. Obviously, they also sell all the wines on the tasting menu lists. They do not ship to the United States, but they have referrals of their distributors (mostly in the East Coast and one from Seattle). Wines varies here, so have a good idea of what you might want to try. The profile from each of the menu is quite different and you can only choose four of each tasting menu. The tasting menu has at least 8 to 12 choices. If you have the car and the time, it is worth making a stop at this winery. Saluté!

Destilaria Sharish Gin is a gin distillery launched by António Cuco on April 24, 2014. During a…read moretime of unemployment, António Cuco turned his enthusiasm into a successful award winning brand that creatively infused flavors into classic gin. This location is a functioning distillery where their gin is made, and tours are offered with one full size tasting included. Our tour guide was informative (English speaking) who coincidentally looks like the founder (mural on wall). The decor on the wall and their door leverages their branding and shape of their unique bottle. Everything is very thoughtfully designed. The showroom sells gin in different bottle sizes, brand merch, and even tonic water to drink with the gin.

Very nice winery and we got the tour in Portuguese, because an English tour did not fit in with our…read moreschedule, however it was fun, we were grouped with a large group from Brazil. The wines and small bites we had were delicious, I loved their full body, dry red wine very tasty, This winery had a lot of awards and wine tasting in Portugal is inexpensive, a tour plus wine tasting can cost between 3-10 euros. Beautiful property, if you have a time go an visit this place.

Evora is about an hour and twenty min drive/train from Lisbon. It's either a long day trip or a…read morenice one night stay. The hotels are decent, the locals are friendly and the sights are consuming enough for a day or two (Roman ruins, chapel of bones etc) Couched in this one night stay are an impressive array of local-sourced restaurants. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer to try more. Cartuxa Enoteca is one of several I had on my list to try and it did not disappoint. We ordered: Mushroom, sheeps milk cheese and mint gratin - outstanding! Sautéed squid, chilli, lemon and rosemary - great Sliced beef tongue- I didn't eat it but others at my table loved it! Fries in olive oil - good (I had the audacity to ask for mayo in a place that I believe make their own oil - they politely declined and said "no sauces - only olive oil taste") A couple of diff glasses of their reserve red - both were delicious The olive oil pudding - an absolute must try. I left extremely satisfied.
