Highlights
Évora Evening Bites is a food and drink walk through the heart of Évora, designed for travelers who want to eat and drink like a local, not just pass through. As golden hour settles over the city, your guide leads you through Évora’s UNESCO-listed historic center, ducking into family-run tascos, wine bars, and pastelarias that most visitors never find. Across 4 carefully chosen tasting stops, you’ll try the dishes and drinks locals actually order: robust Alentejo wines, craft beers, proper Alentejo plates, the ones locals actually eat, and conventual sweets made the same way they’ve been made for centuries. History shows up along the way, but always in service of the food. Every bite has a story. Every stop is chosen for taste first. The whole experience moves to the Alentejo rhythm of vagar: unhurried, generous, and meant to be savored.

Itinerary
A stop at a local craft beer house for Alentejo brews paired with a bifana, Portugal's classic marinated pork sandwich. A relaxed introduction to how locals actually snack and drink in Évora.
Guided tasting of Alentejo wines alongside regional extra virgin olive oil, one of the most awarded in the world. You learn what makes the region's terroir distinctive and how to taste both properly.
A taste of ginja, the traditional Portuguese sour cherry liqueur, in a small batch organic version made without additives. A short stop with a strong sense of place.
Convent sweets born in Évora's monasteries, made with egg yolks, sugar and almond. Expect classics such as pão de rala or queijadas, with the story behind why these recipes exist.
The final stop, sitting down for regional dishes in a family run restaurant inside the UNESCO historic centre. This is where the tour slows into vagar, the Alentejo way of taking your time.

About Setúbal District
Setúbal District lies across the Tagus from Lisbon, with the cliffs of Arrábida, the dolphins of the Sado estuary, fishing towns and long Atlantic beaches.
Setúbal District lies south of Lisbon on the far side of the Tagus, stretching from the estuary down the coast towards Sines in the Alentejo. Its heart is the Setúbal Peninsula, a land of limestone hills, pine woods, vineyards, fishing towns and long beaches. The city of Setúbal, on the Sado estuary, has a port, a market and the Convent of Jesus, with an early Manueline church. Palmela's hilltop castle looks over the vineyards and the estuary.
