A great tour of a very good vinery - Diogo is the perfect host - not only talking about Colqares, but is very enthusiastic and informative of winw in Portugal as a whole. The tasting is generous and gives an insight of the different styles they make. A bit expensive at 20 Euros, but still very much recommended.

Europe's westernmost vineyard in the region of Colares, Sintra - In between the magnificence of the Atlantic Ocean and the mystery of the Sintra Mountain. A one of a kind history that will change your perspective on life followed by a tasting of a very distinct portfolio of wines. Book your tour and tasting or visit our Wine Shop to get ahold of the Colares D.O.C. wines - coming from pre-phylloxera vineyards. We also organize tailored events according to your needs. Everyone is more than welcome to discover this treasure 30mins away from Lisbon.
What a pleasant and generous tour of Casal Sta.Maria. With our excellent and knowledgeable guide, Joao Ribas, the walk through the vineyards and view to the Atlantic was more than enough to give 5 stars. And then there were the wines. Complex and astounding for such a small family vineyard. Suffice to say I’ve bought quite a lot especially the late harvest (especially unusual for this area). If you want to experience a unique and unspoilt part of Portugal near Lisboa go to Casal Sta. Maria.

Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point in Europe and is well worth the trip from wherever you are on the Iberian peninsula. Windy, craggy, magnificent views of of the crashing surf; we could have spent hours here. Sadly, we were on an otherwise fabulous bus tour and only had 40 minutes. Bring lunch and take your time!

The "Capuchos Convent" or "Cork Convent" was established in 1560 by Dom Alvaro de Castro, Counsellor of State to King Sebastiao, with the name Convento de Santa Cruz da Serra de Sintra. It is noteworthy for the extreme poverty of its construction, which represents the ideal of the Order of St. Francis of Assisi, and for the extensive use of cork in the protection and decoration of its small spaces.
An authentic monastery built in the heart of the Sintra Nature Park. The Convent of the Capuchos is a historical convent consisting of small quarters and public spaces located in the civil parish of Sao Pedro de Penaferrim, in the municipality of Sintra. Poverty was the central notion which ruled the construction of the Convent of the Capuchos. Fascinating to see how they lived in such simplicity. The site is located in the rural part of Sintra, along the northeastern flank of the Sintra Mountains, approximately 325 metres above sea level, in a location marked by dense vegetation and accentuated slopes. The minimalist convent was erected in perfect harmony with its surroundings, implanted in the rocks and boulders that formed this part of the Sintra Mountains. A good place to enjoy nature and see how the Franciscans lived in the 16th century without wealth. A quiet place with peace and greenery all around. Really interesting place, away from the main tourist routes. Not many tourists, peace and contemplative mood. Beautiful garden, pleasant walk. In place routes thought out for tourists - with lighting inside the buildings. There are parking, toilets and places for a rest. A beautiful drive there. Though all drives in this area mean narrow, winding, mountain roads.

Easily the best lunch meal we ate whilst visiting the Sintra National Park area of Portugal. I had a selection of breads with dips and pickles followed by vegetarian chilli and completed with a portion of apple pie. The food was absolutely amazing and great value for money. Very unique feel to the whole place with this being part of an art gallery with lots of amazing and quirky pieces available to buy. Highly recommend eating here.

The village views are truly impressive. When driving from Sintra, stop on the left side viewpoint before the village for the best views/pics.
