"An Unforgettable Offbeat Experience – Wine, Food & Friendship in Setúbal From the moment we met Rodrigo, we knew we were in for a special day. More than just a guide, he felt like a friend—easygoing, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the hidden gems of Setúbal’s wine countryside. Our journey took us through stunning landscapes, where rolling vineyards met the Atlantic breeze. Rodrigo curated a perfect balance of history, culture, and indulgence, making each stop feel intimate and unrushed. The wine tastings were exceptional, featuring unique local varieties we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Paired with delicious regional food, it was a true sensory delight. Beyond the wine, Rodrigo’s personal insights and engaging storytelling made the experience truly memorable. Whether we were strolling through charming villages, castle of Palma, learning about traditional winemaking, or simply enjoying deep conversations, every moment felt authentic and special. If you’re looking for an offbeat, intimate, and immersive day trip from Lisbon, this is it. We left not just with incredible memories, but with a new friend in Rodrigo. Highly recommend!"

"We had the pleasure of spending a day with Rodrigo. The tour started with a hotel pick up and drive to wine country in Setúbal. Rodrigo’s general knowledge of language, history, culture and the wine, along with his sense of humor and friendly demeanor kept us informed and entertained throughout the whole experience. We tired 7 different wines and ended the day having a lunch in a family owned local restaurant in Palmela. Food was authentic and fresh and the people were warm and kind. Overall a great experience! "

"Isabel has stories to tell and you want to hear them. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about our evening: the food, the wine, and especially the company. We were served four courses of authentic food which was explained in detail and the three (plus) hours zipped by. Isabel intimates that she has remained close to many of her guests over the years, and I believe her. We will certainly stop by if we are ever again in Lisbon. "

"We had a wonderful day with Joao visiting 2 wineries and stopping for a very nice lunch at a family owned restaurant. We had a large group of 9 people and some of us arrived late due to airline delays but Joao was very accommodating and flexible. He made arrangements to make sure we still were able to take a full advantage of our planned agenda. Joao is very knowledgeable about wines and the area’s history. He is also an interesting company to have a conversation. We really enjoyed our day and I highly recommend Joao. "

"My partner and I had a lovely evening with Isobel, learning about and tasting traditional Portuguese foods, talking about local culture and customs, and getting a feel for this amazing place. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and by the time we departed we were good friends. Definitely recommend. "

"Isabel welcomed us into her home with open arms and lovely food. My 30-something daughter and I enjoyed the experience. Isabel has interesting perspectives and tells very interesting stories. It was so great to spend time with a local in their own home and hear about what it is really like to live in Lisbon. Highly recommend!"

"We loved the interaction with Isabel! It’s very nice to hear stories from a local. And lovely food! "

" I loved my evening with Isabel. She greeted me in her lovely home. Her food was delicious and the wine was beautiful. I was alone and we chatted through the evening like like 2 old friends. "

"Isabel is a great cook and has a sparkling personality, the perfect mix for a wonderful evening. She poured great local wines, too. And, she communicated well to help us find her beautiful flat. Don't miss an evening with her when in Lisbon."

"We are experienced travelers, but had never done a meal in a home with someone we had never met. We were slightly apprehensive. Isabel welcomed us in her home and instantly made us feel at home and comfortable. Isabel is a good cook, wonderful conversationalist, and gracious host."
