Join a genuine grape harvest morning less than an hour from Lisbon, in Alenquer — one of Portugal’s most respected wine regions and one of the few areas near the city where harvest is still done by hand. Welcomed with coffee and an amuse-bouche, you’ll head into the vineyard with the estate’s viticulturist to pick grapes, then take part in traditional foot treading before touring the winery with a wine tourism specialist. The morning finishes with a guided tasting paired with cheese and charcuterie, plus a stop at the estate’s Wine Shop. Your harvest kit (hat, scissors and bucket) is included. Runs 9:30am–1pm on fixed dates only — book early, spots are limited to 12 guests.

Hand-pick grapes near Lisbon at a family-run estate

Join a genuine Portuguese grape harvest just outside Lisbon, on a family-run estate in Alenquer — a historic wine region with roots stretching back to Roman times, known for its robust reds and elegant whites. Guided by the estate’s viticulturist, you’ll walk the vineyard and hand-pick grapes during harvest season, then take part in traditional foot treading — the age-old way of pressing grapes into juice. A wine tourism specialist leads you through the winery before a guided tasting paired with cheese and charcuterie, followed by a visit to the estate’s Wine Shop. Your harvest kit — hat, scissors and bucket — is included, so all you need to bring is enthusiasm. Available on a handful of fixed dates each August and September, this is an authentic, hands-on introduction to Portuguese wine harvest tradition, less than an hour from Lisbon.

Highlights

A real harvest, minutes from the city. Less than an hour from Lisbon, this is one of the few places nearby where you can take part in an actual working grape harvest — not a staged demonstration.

Only a handful of dates each year. This experience runs on fixed dates in late August and September, tied to the estate’s actual harvest — book early, as spots are limited to 12 guests.

Everything you need is included. Your harvest kit — hat, scissors and bucket — comes with the experience, so there’s nothing extra to source or bring.

Guided by real specialists. A viticulturist leads the harvest, and a Wine Tourism specialist guides the winery visit — genuine expertise at every stage.
