How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Start your evening just like one of the locals, with a glass of vinho in hand. Sounds like the beginning of a great story, doesn’t it? You’ll flit between Portugal’s wine regions, all from the comfort of the oldest districts in Lisbon with one of our local Lisbon hosts to guide you (figuratively, not literally in this case).
Take your palate on an exciting journey from crisp and aromatic Arinto whites from the Lisboa region to the full-bodied reds of Alentejo. And the only thing better than good wine in good company is to throw some good food into the mix too, so you’ll enjoy some small plates of nibbles known as petiscos with your wines.
Stroll through this hillside neighborhood as the sun sets over the rooftops, savor the wines (and the sweeping ocean views) and the ambiance as your host leads you between tiny taverns, cozy wine cellars, and terraces with tables spilling out into the cobbled streets.
We might just join you.

His knowledge of the region and its wine provided us with great insight. We tried wines we would not have chosen on our own and educated us along the way. We highly recommend booking a tour with a Ricardo and cannot wait to come back and tour with him again. Bravo.

Abbiamo avuto degli intoppi iniziali e Genta è stata molto gentile ad aspettarci fino al giorno dopo. Grazie per la disponibilità! Abbiamo apprezzato Genta e il giro che ci ha fatto fare e la consiglieremmo ad altri italiani.

My husband and I did a 3 hour private walking tour with Ricardo and we saw so much! Ricardo really knows Lisbon and took us to famous spots on everyone’s list as well as lesser knows parts of the city that added charm and authenticity to our experience. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and kind. We loved spending time with him and learning about Lisboa!
