Castles & Vines™ - Alentejo Wine Country Bike Tour (1)

An adventure of fairytale proportion. In the spring, look forward to a colorful array of wildflowers. In the fall, fields come alive with grape harvesting for the vindimas festival. We like to refer to Alentejo as The Tuscany of Portugal™, suitable given the characteristic green & gold landscape that surrenders itself to your Trek touring bicycle, mile after folkloric mile, and for the romantic lifestyle that surrounds you in each destination town, whitewashed and nestled against a backdrop of tradition and hospitality. Each afternoon on this Alentejo wine country bike tour, you'll explore a new village such as Arraiolos and Èvora, cut from the storybooks with their narrow cobblestone streets, and conclude several days with a wine tasting at a local wineries. Later, after browsing the old quarter, look forward to an evening feast on hearty Alentejan cuisine, delicious wines and sweet pastries. The Alentejo has a way of making its guests feel welcome. Expansive blue skies, and calming pace of life will help remind you, day after sunny day.
