SAVOR PORTUGAL

Wine, Culture & the Atlantic

​

Day 1 – Thursday, May 6 | Portugal Awaits

Today we depart Miami International Airport aboard TAP Air Portugal, the national airline of Portugal and a member of the Star Alliance, for our overnight flight to Lisbon. Settle in, relax and get ready for nine days of Portuguese wine, food, culture and coastal beauty. For those who prefer to begin the journey together, group transportation from Naples to Miami International Airport can be arranged based on interest. Tomorrow morning, the red-tiled rooftops, grand boulevards and waterfront neighborhoods of Lisbon await.

Meals: In-Flight Service | Overnight: Overnight Flight

Day 2 – Friday, May 7 | Welcome to Lisbon

Welcome to Lisbon, one of Europe's sunniest and most inviting capitals. Begin with a relaxed introduction to the city, including Belém and its magnificent monuments to Portugal's Age of Discovery, with a necessary stop for coffee and the legendary Pastéis de Belém. Continue into atmospheric Alfama and visit the Church of Saint Anthony, built at the site traditionally associated with the Lisbon-born saint's family home, before stopping at the lively Time Out Market. Then settle into the luxurious EPIC SANA Lisboa, where the afternoon is yours to relax, visit the spa or pool, or simply recover from the overnight journey. Tonight, we'll raise our first glass together at a welcome dinner with wine.

Meals: Dinner with Wine | Overnight: EPIC SANA Lisboa

Arriving Early? Guests who would like guaranteed access to their room upon arrival may request an early check-in option during registration; any additional hotel charge will be passed through at cost. Otherwise, the hotel will gladly store your luggage while you enjoy its restaurants, pools, spa and other facilities until your room is ready.

Day 3 – Saturday, May 8 | Wine Country & Évora

Leave Lisbon behind for a day in the Alentejo, where cork trees, olive groves and vineyards stretch across the countryside. We'll visit two carefully selected wine estates for private experiences introducing us to the region's distinctive wines—including an engaging look at the art of Portuguese blending—and enjoy an estate olive-oil tasting along the way. There will be plenty to taste, but the day is as much about meeting the people and understanding the land as it is about what's in the glass. We'll also explore UNESCO-listed Évora, where Roman ruins, medieval streets and the striking cathedral reveal more than 2,000 years of history. Return to Lisbon after a wonderfully unhurried day in one of Portugal's great food-and-wine regions.

Meals: Breakfast & Dinner with Wine | Overnight: EPIC SANA Lisboa

Day 4 – Sunday, May 9 | A Leisurely Morning & Coimbra

Sleep in, attend Mass or take a morning stroll through nearby Eduardo VII Park—the choice is yours. After breakfast and a leisurely morning, we'll leave Lisbon around midday and travel north toward Porto, stopping in Coimbra, Portugal's storied university city. Explore its atmospheric historic center and enjoy free time for lunch among the cafés and winding streets surrounding one of Europe's oldest universities. Then continue to Porto and check into the five-star Eurostars Aliados, perfectly positioned in the heart of the city. Tonight we'll gather for dinner and our first taste of northern Portugal.

Meals: Breakfast & Dinner with Wine | Overnight: Eurostars Aliados, Porto

Day 5 – Monday, May 10 | Porto & the Art of Port

Porto is a city meant to be explored on foot, and today a private guide introduces us to its UNESCO-listed historic heart. Discover grand squares, lively shopping streets, Porto Cathedral and the colorful Ribeira waterfront, with sweeping views across the Douro River. This afternoon, we'll cross the river to discover the wine that made the city famous with an elevated vintage Port tasting at Graham's, accompanied by gourmet cheese and chocolate. Afterward, the evening is completely yours—linger beside the river, find a neighborhood restaurant or simply enjoy the city at your own pace. For those looking for something truly exceptional, an optional two-Michelin-starred dinner at The Yeatman can turn the evening into a culinary event of its own.

Meals: Breakfast | Overnight: Eurostars Aliados, Porto

Optional: A Two-Michelin-Star Evening at The Yeatman
A multi-course tasting menu from Chef Ricardo Costa, expertly paired with wines and transportation from the hotel. Supplement: $500 per person.

Day 6 – Tuesday, May 11 | Into the Douro Valley

Yesterday we tasted Port; today we travel to the spectacular landscape where it begins. Venture into the Douro Valley, where steep vineyard terraces tumble toward the river through the world's oldest demarcated wine region. Spend the day among the vineyards with curated winery visits, tastings and stories of generations who have shaped this remarkable landscape. Then take to the Douro itself for a private cruise, seeing the valley from its most beautiful vantage point—the water. It is one of those days when the scenery, wine and company do most of the work for us. Return to Porto this evening for dinner together.

Meals: Breakfast & Dinner with Wine | Overnight: Eurostars Aliados, Porto

Day 7 – Wednesday, May 12 | Down the Atlantic Coast

Today we leisurely make our way south toward Lisbon, but there's no reason to hurry. Stop in Nazaré, the Atlantic fishing town that became internationally famous for some of the largest surfable waves ever recorded. Beyond the waves, Nazaré retains the character of an old Portuguese seaside town, making it a wonderful place to pause for lunch together overlooking the coast. Continue to Lisbon and check into the stylish Inspira Liberdade Boutique Hotel, just off Avenida da Liberdade and surrounded by cafés, restaurants and some of the city's best shopping. You'll be steps from the boutiques of some of the world's great fashion houses—and, unlike another famous avenue in Paris, this one actually lives up to the shopping hype. Tonight we'll enjoy dinner together back in Lisbon.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner | Overnight: Inspira Liberdade Boutique Hotel, Lisbon

Day 8 – Thursday, May 13 | Palaces, Coastlines & Cascais

Today brings together two very different sides of Portugal. Begin in Sintra, where the brilliantly colored Pena Palace rises above forested hills like something out of a storybook, followed by time to wander the charming old town. Then trade palaces for the Atlantic as we continue to sophisticated Cascais, Portugal's elegant seaside playground. Enjoy time for a leisurely seafood lunch, browse the boutiques and bougainvillea-lined streets, stroll the waterfront or visit the dramatic coastal cliffs at Boca do Inferno. Return to Lisbon with the evening at leisure, or make it extraordinary with an optional Michelin-starred dinner overlooking the city.

Meals: Breakfast | Overnight: Inspira Liberdade Boutique Hotel, Lisbon

Optional: Michelin-Starred Lisbon
An elegant tasting-menu experience at Eleven, including wine pairing and transportation. Supplement: $300 per person.

Day 9 – Friday, May 14 | Lisbon, Your Way

Today is deliberately yours. Sleep in, explore Lisbon's hilltop castle and historic neighborhoods, browse the boutiques along Avenida da Liberdade, book a spa treatment or settle into a café and simply enjoy the rhythm of the city. Those wishing to venture farther afield may join an optional excursion to Fátima, one of the world's most important Marian pilgrimage destinations, including transportation and lunch. However you spend the day, tonight everyone comes back together for a spectacular farewell at SUD Lisboa, an upscale riverside setting overlooking the Tagus and the 25 de Abril Bridge. With carefully selected wines, great food and a lively atmosphere, it is exactly the kind of evening with which to toast our time together in Portugal.

Optional Fátima Excursion: $100 per person, including round-trip transportation and lunch.
Meals: Breakfast & Farewell Dinner with Wine | Overnight: Inspira Liberdade Boutique Hotel, Lisbon

Day 10 – Saturday, May 15 | Until We Meet Again

Enjoy one final Portuguese breakfast before our transfer to Lisbon Airport for the journey home. After Lisbon's tiled streets, Alentejo vineyards, Porto's riverfront, the Douro Valley and the Atlantic coast, we'll head home with plenty of memories—and perhaps a few bottles of Portugal packed carefully in the luggage. Until the next Players Club adventure!
