Portugal is one of Europe’s best-kept culinary secrets — and with Executive Global Tours, you discover it like an insider. From port wine cellars in the Douro Valley to seafood feasts in Lisbon, Alentejo’s rustic flavors to sun-drenched vineyards, our Portugal Food & Wine Tours are fully private, tailor-made journeys crafted entirely around your palate.
Every itinerary is designed by our culinary travel specialists and led by expert local guides, sommeliers, and chefs. Travel in luxury private vehicles, stay in handpicked wine estates, historic pousadas, and boutique hotels, and dine at tables most travelers never reach.
Douro Valley – The World’s Oldest Wine Region
A UNESCO World Heritage landscape of terraced vineyards carved into dramatic river gorges. Cruise the Douro River in a private boat, visit centuries-old port wine quintas, and taste vintage ports and Douro reds straight from the barrel. Stay in a converted wine estate and dine on traditional dishes like posta à mirandesa paired with bold local reds.
Lisbon – Seafood, Markets & Fado Nights
Portugal’s capital is a feast of flavors. Explore the Time Out Market and Mercado da Ribeira with a local foodie guide, savor just-caught grilled fish and pastéis de nata warm from the oven, and end the evening in an intimate fado house with Portuguese wine in hand. Day trips include the coastal town of Cascais and the palaces of Sintra.
Alentejo – Rustic Flavors & Golden Plains
Known as Portugal’s breadbasket, Alentejo offers hearty cuisine — black pork, açorda bread soup, and rich red wines from vast estates. Visit cork oak forests, tour family-run wineries, and enjoy farm-to-table lunches at historic herdades (estates). Don’t miss Évora, a UNESCO-listed town steeped in history.
