Picnic in the Vineyards near Lisbon

Relax with a picnic basket of regional products

Forty-five minutes from Lisbon, in the vineyard gardens of Casal do Vale, this 3-hour experience is designed for people who want to slow down. Rosa — the estate’s guide and the name in every review — welcomes your group, walks you through the winery, and explains the history and wines of this family estate that has been producing premium wine since 1980 across 180 hectares. Then you settle into the gardens with your picnic basket: a carefully curated selection of regional cheeses and sausages, jams, savoury snacks, fruit, and traditional sweets, paired with a bottle of estate wine. Alexie Morin called Rosa “passionate” and said “the environment and wines are delightful.” Lawrence said it was “one of the favourite tastings we’ve done.”

Highlights

The Most Unhurried Experience at Casal do Vale There are no scheduled stops, no tasting formats to follow, no clock to watch. After the winery tour, the time is yours — in the vineyard gardens, with a basket of regional food, a bottle of estate wine, and views over 180 hectares of vine in every direction. This is the experience you book when you want an afternoon, not an activity.

Rosa — The Host Who Makes Every Tour at This Estate Special Alexie Morin praised Rosa’s passion and said “the environment and wines are delightful.” Lawrence called it “one of the favourite tastings we’ve done” and said Rosa “made the experience even better.” Andrea C. Marengo described “a great tour of the vineyard and its facilities, providing a lot of details about their history and production.” The picnic is the setting. Rosa is the experience.

A Picnic Basket of Genuine Regional Products This is not a cheese board from a supermarket. The basket includes a curated selection of traditional Portuguese cheeses and cured sausages, homemade jams, savoury snacks, fresh fruit, and a regional sweet — products that reflect the food culture of the Torres Vedras region. Paired with a bottle of estate wine in a vineyard garden, it is one of the most authentic food moments available near Lisbon.

180 Hectares of Vineyard as Your Backdrop The Casal do Vale estate covers 180 hectares in the hills of Torres Vedras — one of the most scenic wine landscapes within an hour of Lisbon. The picnic is set in the estate’s own gardens, with vine rows stretching in every direction and the Atlantic-influenced hills of the region around you. There are few places this beautiful within 45 minutes of the capital.

Flexible for Groups of 2 to 20 — Ideal for Celebrations Unlike most wine experiences near Lisbon, this one accommodates groups up to 20 — making it one of the best options for birthday celebrations, hen parties, corporate groups, and family gatherings in the Lisbon wine region. The picnic format is naturally social, and Rosa’s warmth as a host has been praised in every review without exception.
