Essence of Portugal
Fairytale castles, baking and wine tasting – this seven-day small group tour of Portugal will help you discover the essence of the country's food, wine and culture. Alongside a Travelmarvel Tour Director, you’ll begin your adventure in Lisbon, where you can join a pastel de nata baking class. These sweet custard tarts are a breakfast staple in the city’s cafes. Take a day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage area of Sintra, a fairytale-like town of castles, enchanting gardens and a grand palace; and wander cobblestone streets to find another castle in Óbidos, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval villages. The tour ends in Porto with an exclusive wine tasting with the owners of a private quinta, who can share their insight into the region’s famous port wine production.
