If you want to try some of the world\u2019s best wine, look no further! Get a glimpse into Portuguese winemaking at our favorite Lisbon wineries.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s no secret that Portugal contains some of the top wine-producing regions in the world. Porto and the Duoro Valley may be particularly well known, but the country’s enological splendors aren’t limited to these areas. If you\u2019re in the capital and want to discover what all the hype is about, check out the best Lisbon wineries\u2014and prepare to be amazed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The top 5 Lisbon wineries to visit<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As you might expect, the best Lisbon wineries aren\u2019t exactly in the city, but right outside of it. The coastal regions surrounding Portugal\u2019s capital boast a unique climate and geography. These conditions give rise to one-of-a-kind wines that reflect the local environment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A day trip to any of these wineries isn’t just a chance to taste one of the country\u2019s biggest exports; it\u2019s also an excuse to escape from the city and experience the stunning nature nearby. What better way to appreciate the natural, cultural and culinary wonders of Portugal than with a glass of wine in hand?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Adega Regional de Colares<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Colares is the name of the coastal area west of Lisbon, which happens to be Europe’s westernmost wine region. It\u2019s also the most prestigious Portuguese wine appellation, due in large part to its scarcity. The Adega Regional de Colares<\/a> is the country\u2019s oldest cooperative winery, uniting most of the local producers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This place promises plenty of atmospheric beauty, from its grand 19th-century building to the misty air and strong winds blowing in from the Atlantic. Try the Ramisco red, known for its extensive aging and acidity, or the prized Malvasia whites. A tour here will not disappoint\u2014just make sure you book in advance!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Quinta dos Loridos<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This magnificent estate is just an hour\u2019s drive north of Lisbon. It’s owned by Bacalh\u00f4a Vinhos de Portugal: one of the country\u2019s biggest wine companies. Although they offer a wide range of wines, at Quinta dos Loridos<\/a> the focus is on espumantes<\/em>: sparkling whites made from Alvarinho grapes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The estate is also home to Buddha Eden<\/a>, a massive sculpture garden that features hundreds of terra-cotta soldiers, buddha statues, pagodas and lakes. Believe it or not, admission to this tranquil paradise\u2014including a wine tasting, naturally\u2014will only set you back a few euros.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Jos\u00e9 Maria da Fonseca<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jos\u00e9 Maria da Fonseca<\/a> is among the most prestigious Lisbon wineries, and for good reason. It\u2019s been operating since 1834 in the town of Vila Nogueira de Azeit\u00e3o, across the Tagus river in Set\u00fabal. Its mainstays are the sweet Moscatels and Periquita reds, some of which are more than a century old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The wines are kept in the Adega da Mata and Adega dos Teares Novos wine cellars, beneath the Casa Museu (house-museum). Each tour of this 19th-century structure, with its iconic facade and gorgeous gardens, culminates with a trip to the cellars and a tasting of their treasures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Its mission is to express the unique essence of the Lisbon area in each and every bottle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Quinta do Gradil<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Located in the foothills of the Montejunto mountains, Quinta do Gradil<\/a> is a stunning country estate. It also features a wine shop and restaurant in addition to the winery itself. Its claim to fame? It once belonged to the family of the Marquis de Pombal (a national hero<\/a>)!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
