Luxury travel in Portugal: amazing food and wine and breathtaking landscapes

Portugal is a country where you can connect to tradition, culture and beautiful landscapes. On a Portugal private tour with Jacada you’ll experience memorable moments: listen to melodic fado music in Lisbon, learn how to create azulejos (ceramic tiles) in a traditional workshop and watch dolphins play in the waves at sunset in the Algarve.

On luxury Portugal tours you’ll have the opportunity to connect with guides who will share stories with you and explain fascinating history on exclusive tours, often accompanied by private lunches in palatial homes. Wander the pretty towns of Estoril, Cascais and in the region of Sintra, replete with castles, palaces and gothic spires.

Our Portugal food and wine tours will help you to discover regional cuisine and strong tradition during exclusive visits to private kitchens, secret cafes, tiny pastelarias (bakeries) and gourmet restaurants. You’ll sample pastel de natas (delicate custard tarts), bacalhau (salted cod) and feast on Porto’s famous sandwich, the Francesinha. 

Wine is an important part of history and culture in Portugal, evident in Alentejo and on Douro Valley wine tours. Take a relaxing, private boat ride along the Douro river where grape vines dominate the terraced landscapes, visit a multitude of different quintas (wine farms) and spend time learning about winemaking from experts in boutique wine cellars. 

Get in touch with us and get ready to discover Portugal with Jacada on an adventure that is bound to be one of lasting memories and extraordinary experiences.
