What to expect
Experience Portugal’s best-kept secret, the beautiful Alentejo region dotted with olive and cork trees tand boasting a first-rate reputation for outstanding cuisine and wines. Settle in for six nights at a deluxe hotel in Vila Viçosa, one of the Alentejo’s gleaming marble towns, and then set off to explore. Visit Elvas’ 17th-century fortifications, gaze over the gorgeous countryside from hilltop Monsaraz and delight in Évora, the Alentejo’s capital city with a medley of stunning architecture that evokes Portugal’s richly layered history. You’ll also experience Portugal’s iconic fado music and wonderful cuisine, including a hands-on cooking lesson in a private home, a delectable meal at a family-owned winery, a special olive oil tasting and a farmers market tour with tasty samples. Plus, enjoy one night in Lisbon to enjoy its spectacular Old-World grandeur, and visit Spain to admire Mérida’s impressively preserved Roman ruins and lovely Olivenza. This small-group program features expert guides and lecturers and an ample meal plan with wine at dinner.
