The Península de Setúbal is a region of natural, heritage, architectural and gastronomic interest, located south of the Tagus River and Lisbon. Integrating the nine municipalities of Alcochete, Almada, Barreiro, Moita, Montijo, Palmela, Seixal, Sesimbra, and Setúbal, this peninsula integrates different places of interest, among which we find the Arrábida Natural Park, the Reserve Natural of the Tagus Estuary and places like Setúbal, Sesimbra or Palmela, where there is a vast built, cultural and natural heritage.
In addition to its landscape, granted by places such as Serra da Arrábida, this peninsula also stands out as a wine tourism destination, containing wine landscapes and a local culture anchored in wine production. Traditional and historical, the Península de Setúbal Wine Route offers diverse scenarios that blend in its ocean, mountain range, agricultural land and city landscape, focusing on the explorations of Moscatel and the Castelão grape variety and allowing us to experience visiting moments wine cellars, wine tasting or cultural immersion in wine production processes. Integrated in this itinerary is the Casa Mãe da Rota de Vinhos, a space in which we can take courses on wine or take wine tours on the Sado River.
