Lisbon: Setúbal Market, Seafood Lunch & Wine Tour

Leave Lisbon behind for a day and discover Setúbal through the flavours, landscapes and traditions that have shaped this coastal region.

Travelling in a small group of no more than eight guests, cross the Tagus River and begin the day with a scenic view over Lisbon and the 25 de Abril Bridge. Continue south towards Setúbal, a city deeply connected to fishing, seafood and the protected landscape of the Arrábida region.

Your first major stop is Mercado do Livramento, widely known for its colourful tiles, fresh fish counters and strong connection to the local community. Walk through the market with your host, meet local vendors and learn how fish, seafood and seasonal produce form part of everyday Portuguese food culture.

During the market visit, taste freshly opened oysters from the Setúbal region and discover the people, ingredients and traditions behind the local fishing economy.

After exploring the market, stop at the historic São Filipe Fortress for panoramic views over Setúbal, the Sado Estuary, the Tróia Peninsula and the Arrábida hills.

The heart of the experience is a relaxed shared lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. Gather around the table and enjoy a selection of fish and seafood dishes inspired by Setúbal’s coastal traditions. The exact dishes may vary according to seasonality and the freshest catch available, creating a meal that reflects the region rather than a fixed tourist menu.

Lunch is accompanied by regional wine and includes the opportunity to taste Azeitão cheese, one of the area’s best-known local products. This is an unhurried moment to share food, ask questions and experience Portuguese hospitality around the table.

In the afternoon, continue to Azeitão for a guided visit to a historic local winery. Learn about the region’s wine heritage, traditional production methods and the story behind one of Portugal’s established winemaking families. Complete the visit with a guided tasting of regional wines.

Before returning to Lisbon, enjoy a traditional local sweet, bringing the day to a final taste of the Setúbal and Azeitão region.

More than a standard sightseeing trip, this is a hosted culinary journey connecting market life, fishing traditions, regional food, wine heritage and the pleasure of sharing a Portuguese meal together.
