This is a genuine wine and cellar tour, where you will have the opportunity to visit a great Portuguese wine farm just outside Lisbon, famous for its Bucelas Wine. You will also have the chance to know some of the noble history of Portugal, since a visit to the Mafra Palace is included.
You are invited to travel in time! Preparing you to taste a wine reference, on one of the Portuguese demarcated regions, you will cross the countryside, with an interesting perspective and contrast between the great city left behind.
Follow the steps of kings and artists that have chosen the traditional area of Mafra, to develop what is considered to be, a pure expression of the baroque style, that gain force on the walls and on the magnitude of the Convent and Palace of Mafra. The perfection of shapes, the careful option on the magnificent marbles that decorate and give the structure, are a small part of the 18th century world that you are invited to visit and to live, passing through the noble way of life, to the religious orders option of simplicity.
You will find all inside this pearl of the European baroque, but not only from the stone and its careful work. Wine has always been a challenge to achieve perfection and it is one of the legacies that have survived the evolution of times and the contradictions of taste, expressed by modern eras.
Not far away from Mafra, crossing the countryside, you will find the vineyards that are the cradle, the seed of this delightful product in the Bucelas Wine Region. Tasting, learning and contacting with this "art" are part of this tour that during a period of half-day, invites you to travel across historical references and to explore the genuine Portuguese Countryside, leaving a fabulous heritage not forgotten.
