Our ride begins deep in Alentejo, eventually slowing down near the castle of Alter do Chão to enjoy a delicious local lunch. Continue riding to our first historic hotel, a 14th c. converted landmark tower. This evening, we’ll tour the property’s winery and sit down for a fabulous welcome dinner.  

Set out on a loop ride through historic villages and into the Serra de Mamede Natural Park, stopping at a local winery along the way for a tasting and gourmet picnic. Challenge yourself to a Century ride or head back to the hotel for a relaxing afternoon. Tonight, chef Ruben will prepare an incredible meal for us, followed by a stargazing lesson.  

This morning’s ride takes us west toward Evora, where we’ll dive into Portugal’s famous cork industry. Continue riding to our friend Nuno’s farm for a tour of his family’s estate and a sampling of their wine over a delicious homemade meal. Following a magical event over cocktails, spend the evening exploring Evora’s many dining options. 

Joined by our local guide, we’ll spend the morning learning about Evora’s layered history, wandering its narrow streets and stopping to see some of its most important monuments. Then, pedal along Alentejo’s Atlantic coast, stopping for a fresh seafood lunch on the beach. Enjoy cocktails and live music on the terrace this evening, followed by an incredible dinner. 

Our day begins at a traditional azulejo factory, where local artisans will show us the process of creating Portugal’s iconic ceramic tiles. Then we’re back on our bikes, cycling to the Setubal piers where our catamaran is waiting. Cruise past the Arrábida cliffs and enjoy a picnic on board, before our final night celebration dinner is served.
