Highlights
- Jose Maria de Fonseca - A family business with almost two centuries of history that, without ever resting on the glories conquered, has been able to modernize. José Maria da Fonseca has been operating wine since 1834, the fruit of the shared passion of a family that has preserved and projected the memory and prestige of its founder. Conscious of the responsibility of being the oldest producer of table wine and Moscatel de Setúbal in Portugal, José Maria da Fonseca has a philosophy of permanent development, which makes it invest more and more in research and of production, combining the most modern techniques with traditional knowledge. An example of this is the Adega José de Sousa Rosado Fernandes, in Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo, where the Roman tradition of fermenting in clay pots keeps abreast of the latest technology.
What's Included
- On-board WiFi

Great, highly recommended - It was a fantastic tour. Both wineries were very interesting, with excellent wine and guides. Our personal guide for the tour, David from LRS was outstanding. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome, was very knowledgeable about the winery we were visiting, and made the day very special.

Wine, wine and more Wine! - We had such a great tour guide who was so informative and a pleasure to spend our morning with. The tour itself was such a great experience learning and actually seeing the process and tasting the various wines. Wines were so good we shipped bottles back to Texas. This is a must do tour when in Lisbon! We really enjoyed it!!!

Setubal wineries - Our trip started with a late train and our guide Davide waited for us… he was professional kind and although we were late he still was able to get us the first winery. Both wineries are defiantly worth the visit! Huge shout out to Davide for a great tour!!

Fun four hours in Setúbal wine country. - Our driver and guide Diago was a young fun and knowledgeable tour guide. Very personable. The two tastings were fun. The first was interesting in that the Fonseca tour agent took us through the history of the winery and the wine and muscatel production process. The second was just a tastigu

Too good! Really private and unique wine tasting experience! - Luis & Gonçalo is a super friendly tour guide. He took us to the actual vineyards and me and my wife were super happy with it. The whole experience was 4 hours but it was totally worth it. It was our first time going to the actual vineyards and we really enjoyed.
The trip was too good that we decided to book another private tour to Sintra with Luis & Gonçalo.

Fun in Setúbal - The wineries were excellent and our driver was very fun and knowledgeable about the area! We loved getting to explore Setúbal! The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars was the communication with pickup was confusing but they were very flexible so that was greatly appreciated.

Great tour, but low on the tasting at Fonseca. - An enjoyable experience. Our driver was first class and did a brilliant job! The Fonseca tour was enjoyable, but the wine tasting at the end was very poor. 2 x average wines with no explanation. They missed an opportunity for us to taste and buy their better wines!

Average tour - Wasn’t the best tour, but fine if you don’t want to do an entire day. Van picked us up, but we had to ask for the AC to be turned on and no idea if there was water. The first winery was great, and we got a nice little tour. At the second winery, we did not get a tour and just sat outside and did a tasting. It was pretty generic - but looked like an Interesting place.
Nothing notable about this tour either way, not great and not terrible.

HORRIBLE, HORRIFIC and DISAPPOINTING - An utter disappointment. Completely misrepresented. This was not a wine tour, it was more listening to someone talking about nothing to do with the winery. As far as the tastings, they were nothing to be desired with the sheer lack of wine received. Complete bait and switch and Viator should be ashamed of selling this to the public. This should be refunded and certainly not worth the amount paid.
