Cycling in Paradise

Portugal's Vineyards and Olive Groves

Tour Description: Guided

These tours combine the accommodation at our lovely guesthouse, set in the countryside, with the discovery of the Alentejo by bike. Every day you will meet your guide after our delicious breakfast and indulge on a beautiful bike ride.

Days are all different and rides include stops at wineries, visits to artisans and to producers of local specialities. You will profit from the high knowledge of your local guide and from the gorgeous landscapes around our farm. The great advantage of this tour is that you don’t have to pack and unpack everyday, and the farm is simply lovely and a great place for a long stay.

As you sleep in our farm, every day we can do adjustments to the tour, making it longer or shorter according to your preferences. We are also very near by, so it's a good tour to do with a family or for beginners, because you can count on us for extra support even on self-guided tours!
