If you’re dreaming of wide open skies, rolling vineyards, ancient towns, and timeless traditions — you’re dreaming of the Alentejo. Often referred to as Portugal’s Tuscany (but without the crowds), this sun-drenched region stretches between Lisbon and the Spanish border, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes, culture, and culinary heritage. Yet somehow, it has remained one of Europe’s best-kept secrets.
At Portugal Magik, we’ve been taking guests through the Alentejo for over a decade — not just to see it, but to feel it. Our private, multi-day tours reveal the soul of the region, from walled medieval villages to family-run wineries tucked into golden hills. With our experienced English-speaking driver-guides and luxury vehicles, your journey is entirely personalized and wonderfully stress-free.
This isn’t mass tourism. It’s a slow, meaningful way to travel — and it’s what we do best.
