Let the region be your guide and tour all the wineries neighboring your accommodations, or take the guesswork out of it and book a tour. Either way, the family is in for an immersive experience through the country’s wine culture.

Traveling to wine-soaked regions for tastings and foodie culture is a clear draw for many travelers, but considering Portugal’s

many other qualities, this is a great destination no matter the family’s interests and culinary tastes.

Not crazy about wine? No problem, many of these tours have alternate options for guests. There are plenty of ways for the less-enthusiastic winos in the family to still join in the fun.
