Autumn Aromas of Portugal: A Journey for the Senses

Portugal isn’t just a destination, it’s a rhythm.

It’s tiled streets under your feet, olive oil over warm bread, glasses of vinho tinto shared at sunset, and cobblestone alleyways leading to centuries of history.

This October, FW & GT invites you on a gourmet journey through some of Portugal’s most captivating regions, designed for those who love wine, culture, and the kind of travel that lingers long after you return.

Lisbon: The Soulful Capital

Start in Lisbon, where the sound of fado mixes with the scent of pastries straight out of the oven. Stay in a 5★ hotel in the heart of the city, and explore its neighborhoods like Alfama, Bairro Alto, and Chiado, on foot, with local guides and delicious food stops.

Enjoy a private walking tour with tastings, learning the stories behind Portugal’s iconic dishes. You’ll pass tile-covered façades, traditional taverns, and panoramic viewpoints like Miradouro da Senhora do Monte.

Sintra: The Romantic Fairytale

Just outside Lisbon, you’ll find the forests and palaces of Sintra.

Explore Pena Palace, with its bold colors and whimsical architecture, and the mysterious gardens of Quinta da Regaleira.

It’s the kind of place where nature and fantasy blur into one, and FW & GT handles all the details so you can simply wander.

Alentejo: The Quiet Beauty of the Land

Often called the Tuscany of Portugal, Alentejo is rural, peaceful, and deeply connected to tradition.

You’ll taste olive oils, local wines, and cheeses, and experience the slower pace of life that defines this golden-hued region.

Optional: ceramic workshops or a stop at a family-owned vineyard, depending on the group’s rhythm.

The Douro Valley: Wine, River & Heritage

The heart of Portugal’s wine country awaits.

You’ll spend two nights surrounded by terraced vineyards at a first-class hotel overlooking the Douro River.

Highlights include:

1. Two winery visits with premium tastings
2. A private 1-hour Rabelo boat cruise
3. Farm-to-table meals featuring local specialties like bacalhau and roasted pork

Porto: The Final Toast

Your journey ends in Porto, Portugal’s second city, full of blue tiles, river views, and unforgettable charm.

Explore the historic Ribeira district, walk across the Dom Luís I Bridge, and sip port wine at its source.
Stay two nights in a luxury hotel near the river and toast your farewell dinner surrounded by flavor and stories.
