A full-day wine excursion out of Évora, moving between producers across the Alentejo countryside. Lunch and transport are part of the package, so the day stays on the wine and off the road.
Overview
Alentejo Viti Tours runs this outing from Praça do Giraldo, with a 10:30 start and a 7-hour loop along one of five wine routes: Reguengos, Vidigueira, Estremoz, Redondo or Arraiolos. The vehicle is air-conditioned, the group is capped at 8 travellers, and the day is hosted by an English-speaking guide. Two winery visits with tastings and lunch at the winery are all built into the programme.
Meet the driver in the square, where a polo shirt with the company logo marks the pickup and the van carries the same mark. The programme includes a visit with wine tasting at two different wineries, plus lunch at the winery with a selection of wines to go with the food. Entrance fees, fees and taxes are covered by the tour, and the listing names only tip or gratuity as excluded.
It suits travellers staying in Évora who want Alentejo wine country without hiring a car, and who are happy in a group capped at 8 travellers for a full day. The listing carries clear limits: the tour is not wheelchair accessible, infants must sit on laps, and it is not recommended for pregnant travellers. A moderate level of physical fitness is expected.

What To Expect From The Tour
A few practical details from the listing shape the day, from the fixed meeting time to the group cap and the health notes. Reading them before booking saves surprises.
- Meeting Point. The tour meets at Praça do Giraldo at 10:30 and finishes at the same spot. The driver wears a branded polo shirt and the van carries the company logo, so the pickup is easy to identify in the square.
- What Is Covered. Transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, two winery visits with tastings, lunch at the winery with paired wines, and all entrance fees and taxes are included. Gratuity is the only item the listing names as not included.
- Group Size. The tour runs with a maximum of 8 travellers. The group travels together in the air-conditioned vehicle for the full outing.
- Mobility And Fitness. The listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible and that travellers should have a moderate level of physical fitness. It also advises against the tour for pregnant travellers and notes that infants must sit on laps. Service animals are allowed.
- Food And Drink. Lunch is eaten at the winery and comes with a selection of wines chosen to go with the food. Tastings at both wineries are part of the day, so the wine is spread across a 7-hour outing rather than concentrated in one sitting.
- Weather And Numbers. The tour requires good weather to run, and it also requires a minimum number of travellers. If either condition is not met, the operator offers a different date or a full refund.
Common issues. There are limits worth weighing before booking. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, it is not recommended for pregnant travellers, and a moderate level of physical fitness is expected. Groups are capped at 8, and gratuities sit outside what is included. The full refund window closes 24 hours before the start time, and the tour needs both good weather and a minimum number of travellers to run, with a different date or a full refund offered when it does not.
