Azeitão Wine Experience – RY Marketplace
– Learn about the process & history of a wine from this region of Portugal
– Tour around the winery and taste the local wine and cheese
– Enjoy great views of the Arrabida Hills, Atlantic ocean, Sado estuary & Troia Peninsula.
Description
Portugal is one of the top 10 wine exporters in the world, so it would be a crime to leave Lisbon without knowing more about the process & history (and taste as much of the goods as possible). Quinta da Califórnia will be our destination, which is a small local independent winery, chosen above all others as it’s the chance to avoid the many large commercial wineries. We’ll start the day by taking private transport South of Lisbon over the famous Lisbon red iron bridge. At Quinta da Califórnia we’ll taste the local cheese before a tour on the vineyard with our local guide André. After the tour, time to taste 3 different local wines; then, a leisurely walk around the winery & surroundings until old mills for a great view to the Arrábida hills. After some appetite has been worked up, we’ll enjoy a picnic (provided), before making our way back to Lisbon after lunch. En route, we will make a quick stop at a “miradouro” (viewpoint), for a great view of the Atlantic Ocean, Sado estuary & Troia Peninsula.

What happens if my booking is changed/cancelled due to weather?
Let’s be real – no one can control the weather, and sometimes things just don’t go as planned. But don’t worry, your City Manager is here to help and will do their best to come up with a solution if an event is affected. We understand that everyone’s schedule is different, so while we can’t guarantee a make-up option will work for everyone, we promise to try our hardest. If you’re unable to attend the make-up date, no problem – we’ll give you a full refund for your booking.
I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?
Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.
Can I book for a friend / family member?
Sure! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. We do, however, reserve the right to deny access to Friends / Family who are over using RY Services.
I haven’t received a booking confirmation email, can you help?
Please reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll help. In some cases, you may have multiple emails associated on the Marketplace and this is causing some confusion. Reach out and we’ll do our best to sort it out!
If I cannot attend, can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Will I be able to work on this experience?
If you have to check in with work at any point during the scheduled time, we recommend confirming with the City Manager before booking.
I’m a Nation Member but not on an active program, can I still book?
We will always prioritize Remotes who are traveling with an active program on experiences. You may be able to book but there is a chance the City Manager will reach out to let you know we have to release your spot for an active Remote. If you’re in a city but not traveling with a program, we recommend reaching out to the City Manager on the Hub to confirm before booking.
