Embark on a full-day wine and culture journey in the Algarve, starting at 10:30 AM in Silves. The day begins with a guided visit to Paxá Wines, where you’ll explore the estate and learn about the region’s winemaking traditions.

After the visit, you’ll be treated to a gourmet picnic-style lunch between the vineyards, created in collaboration with Inevitável Restaurant.

The simple yet elegant table is filled with regional delights that are harmonized with Paxá’s wines, creating an unforgettable food and wine experience.

The sharing-style menu includes dishes such as mango gazpacho with feta and mint, cured tuna with toasted almonds and olive oil, chicken piri-piri filo pastries, pickled anchovies with Algarve salad and seaweed caviar, Algarve-style carrots, Monchique roast with quinoa and roasted pepper, a charcuterie and cheese board with grapes and honey, and sweet tapas like sweet potato cheesecake with spiced crumble and a mini Algarve orange brownie with dark chocolate and Castro Marim sea salt.

After lunch, around 3:00 PM, the tour continues with a leisurely walk through Silves, one of the most picturesque and historically rich cities in the Algarve. You’ll stroll along the riverside and visit the impressive Silves Castle, which offers panoramic views and a deep connection to the region’s Moorish past. Once the capital of the Arab Kingdom, Silves has a captivating history of drama, conquest, and cultural richness.

To conclude the day, you’ll stop at the Boutique Vinhos inside the Municipal Market of Silves, where you can relax and enjoy a tasting of two Porto wines paired with regional cheeses. The experience ends around 6:00 PM, with transportation provided between all locations.
