It’s called the Arrábida Natural Park and besides having an amazingly rich ecosystem, home to many animal species and flora as well, it is one of the most reputable winemaking regions in the country. This region is called Peninsula of Setúbal, the capital district.

Along the way, listen to your Cool guide talking about the tradition of viticulture in the region, owing to its dense concentration of micro-climates. In our first stop, we will have a tour of a wine house that has been run by the same family for 4 generations, solely dedicated to Palmela wines. See the vineyards and ready your taste buds for a festival of vibrant reds, whites and muscats (Moscatel).

Then we venture deeper inside the Arrabida Natural Park to reach a family property. Explore the century old manor inside the wine estate and the wine producing area.
