The José Maria da Fonseca winery tour was one of the highlights of our time in Portugal. From the…read moremoment it started, it was clear this would be more than just a walk through barrels and bottles. The tour itself was engaging and well paced, with a strong focus on history. We learned about the origins of the winery, the family legacy, and how their winemaking traditions have evolved over generations. It felt informative without ever being dry, and you could tell the guide genuinely cared about what they were sharing. Walking through the cellars was especially memorable. Rows upon rows of aging barrels, dimly lit spaces, and a real sense of time passing quietly alongside the wine. It gave real context to what eventually ends up in the glass. The tasting was excellent and leaned toward premium selections rather than entry level pours. Each wine was thoughtfully introduced, with explanations that made the tasting more meaningful without feeling scripted. Everything we tried was high quality and expressive. The charcuterie board was a perfect complement. Fresh, flavorful, and generous, it elevated the tasting rather than feeling like an afterthought. Simple, well chosen accompaniments that let the wine shine. Overall, this was a polished yet personal experience. Informative, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. If you have any interest in Portuguese wine, especially from the Setúbal region, the José Maria da Fonseca winery tour is absolutely worth your time.

The two young women in the dining room did not speak English, and their Spanish wasn't great either, so communicating was a struggle, but we got by. We ordered fish soup, the soup of the day, beef carpaccio and a dessert, along with two glasses of wine. The soup of the day, vegetable was ok, it was simply pureed veggies, but the fish soup was outstanding! It was full of fish chunks and fresh veggies, I could have eaten another bowl for sure! The beef carpaccio was served with shaved parmesan, arugula and capers. It was quite tasty, but was more of an appetizer for one person perhaps. The dessert was probably the best part, it was so unique, so beautiful, and probably the most filling! The wine was good, but it was hard to really know what to order because the menu we were presented, did not describe the wines, or where they came from, so it was sort of a blind pick, and we honestly don't even know if they were from the actual winery or not!

You drink half of the shot and then eat the rest of the cup with the remainder. It gives a very rich and full flavor, but I will warn you that people do you think it tastes like medicine. It's so easy and it's a quick in and out store. The worker was so knowledgeable and is English friendly. You can also buy different cuts of meat and cheeses. She allowed me to do a taste test before I purchased the cheese and I thought it was very thoughtful of her. I ended up purchasing a block of goat cheese, but if you're in the market for cheeses, I would highly recommend that you guys at least also try the sheep milk cheese. That one was the most specific flavor that was also extremely unique. It was overall very cute store that you could shop around in and the food was tasty.

I came back here at least 2-3 times because it was a unique and interesting experience. The ginjinha is sweet and syrupy, but not too sweet like other places I've tried. It's also right next door to my favorite pastel de nata store, Nata Portuguesa, so I could get both fixes in one trip. Most people recommend the ginjinha with the cherry but I prefer it without. The drink is filled to the brim and I have shaky hands so it would get sticky and messy sometimes. But the store is prepared and has a little sink inside on the right to rinse off.

When Jamie W and I inadvertently walked by recently on our first evening in Lisbon, I realized we needed to stop and do the same thing. I had next to no memory of it, just that it didn't kill me. Jamie was rather hesitant, but I just showed my typical insolence and walked up to the proprietor behind the counter. He was already in mid-pour, and I actually remembered to say "com elas" to indicate we wanted cherries in our drinks. They were only 1,50€ per cup (Photo 8). We sipped them in seconds. The puckery flavor led to a nice finish. We were on our way in less than five minutes.
