Private door-to-door transfer to Évora, the UNESCO-listed capital of the Alentejo. Ninety minutes down the A6 through rolling cork-oak countryside. Private chauffeur, optional wine-estate tasting, and a Roman temple waiting on the other end.
If you choose the extended heritage route, here’s what you’ll see along the way — each stop hand-picked to break up the drive and show you a Portugal most travelers never reach.
A remarkably intact 1st-century Roman temple standing on the highest point of the old town. Fourteen granite columns still hold up the entablature. Walk around it at golden hour — one of the most atmospheric ancient sites in Portugal.
A massive 13th-century Gothic cathedral with medieval cloisters and a rooftop open to visitors. The rooftop walk gives panoramic views over the whitewashed town and the plains beyond — essential.
A 16th-century Franciscan chapel whose walls and columns are decorated with the bones of some 5,000 monks. Above the entrance: 'We bones, lying here, await yours.' Hauntingly beautiful, genuinely unforgettable, not for the squeamish.
One of Europe's oldest megalithic sites — a 7000 BC stone circle of 95 granite monoliths in a holm oak grove, 15 minutes west of Évora. Older than Stonehenge, never crowded, weirdly moving.
Lunch and tasting at a family-run herdade — typically 4-6 wines, bread with the region's famous olive oil, cheese, and charcuterie. Reds from Alentejo are warm, rounded, and extraordinary value.

To see the main sites (Temple of Diana, Cathedral rooftop, Chapel of Bones, old town walk) allow 3-4 hours. Add a wine estate tasting and lunch for a full 6-7 hour day. If you include Almendres Cromlech and Monsaraz, you're looking at 8-10 hours — our full Alentejo day out.
It's intense but not gory — the bones are arranged decoratively, clean, and centuries old. Most adults find it moving rather than disturbing. For children under 10, use judgment — some kids find it fascinating, others unsettling. The chapel is small, so a quick in-and-out visit is easy if it doesn't land well.
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons people book private transfer to Évora. Our driver waits while you taste. We can book 2-3 estates in a day (Cartuxa, Mouchão, Herdade do Esporão, João Portugal Ramos), or focus on one with a proper tasting menu and lunch. Custom packages quoted flat.
If you've got the full day, absolutely. Monsaraz is a tiny walled hilltop village 45 minutes east of Évora, overlooking the Alqueva (Europe's largest artificial lake). The sunset there is remarkable. Combined Évora + Monsaraz + lunch is a 10-hour day at €520 round-trip from Lisbon.
Hot and dry summers (often 35-40°C July-August), cold winters (5-12°C). Shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) are perfect — 20-28°C with long daylight. Alentejo summer light is unforgettable but plan for shade breaks and water; the stone streets absorb heat.
Most wineries are open year-round by appointment. Without booking, many herdades are closed to walk-ins. We pre-book your tasting times so you're never turned away. Harvest season (September-October) is exciting but busy — book 2-3 weeks ahead in that window.
Flat €230 for the direct route. Booking takes under two minutes. Confirmation instant. Cancellation free.
