Guided Tour
The King's Retreat ™

King for a day...or two. The perfect sampler, our Alentejo wine country bike tour. Our most moderate route begins with an easy ride along the Sado River Estuary, past rows of cork trees and charming white & blue houses. Spend the first night at a lovely Portuguese Vila, or the fabulous Convento of Arraiolos, a blue and white pastel village known for its traditional tapestries. Day two takes you across Portugal's wine country to the city of Évora, UNESCO city and pearl of the Alentejo. After a traditional picnic lunch at 5000bc cromelech formation, spend the afternoon wandering the shady streets of this picturesque Alentejan city. Search for hand painted pottery, visit the Chapel of Bones, Roman temple of Diana, or just enjoy a cool drink in Giraldo Square and catch up on your people watching. Day three you'll ride along a secret path to the ancient village of Monsaraz, a true city in the clouds. Visit the artisan shop of Mizette, sample some regional pastries, and explore a very atypical bullring. We'll end with a wine tasting at a well known, local producer before transport back.
