Where to participate in the grape harvest in the Lisbon Region in 2026?
Cas’Amaro — grape harvest in Alenquer with foot treading
Alenquer | August 29 and September 17, 18, 19, and 20 | €65–€100
In the heart of the Alenquer region, Cas’Amaro opens its doors during the harvest season for an experience that covers different stages of wine production.

The experience begins at 9:30 AM with coffee and an amuse-bouche. Afterward, participants head to the vineyards for grape picking alongside a Cas’Amaro winegrower.
This is followed by a winery tour led by a wine tourism expert and one of the most fun moments of the experience: traditional foot treading in wooden tubs.
After the work comes the reward: a wine tasting paired with a board of cheeses and cured meats, ending with a visit to the wine shop.
There are two programs available. The first runs from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM and costs €65 per person. The second extends until 4:00 PM, adding a wine lunch at Cas’Amaro Wine Shop & Bar, for the price of €100 per person. The essential harvest kit — hat, shears, and bucket — is included.

Which is the best grape harvest experience near Lisbon?
There is no single answer: it depends on the type of experience you are looking for.
For a complete harvest with grape treading: Cas’Amaro or Quinta São João Batista.
To stay as close as possible to Lisbon: Oeiras Grape Harvest Festival.
To participate for free: Oeiras Grape Harvest Festival.
For a full-day experience: Quinta das Murgas or Cas’Amaro with a wine-paired lunch.
To combine wine and celebration: Quinta do Sampayo.

Grape harvests with children near Lisbon
Some grape harvests can be wonderful family experiences, but it is important to check the specific rules for each property in advance.
Programs may involve sharp cutting tools, uneven terrain, prolonged sun exposure, and activities centered around alcoholic beverages. Because of this, minimum age requirements and children’s pricing vary.
At the Oeiras Harvest Festival, for example, the minimum age specified for 2026 is 12 years old. Meanwhile, Quinta das Murgas offers a dedicated rate for children.
Before booking, always confirm directly with the organizer whether the activity is suitable for the ages of the children attending.
What to wear when participating in a grape harvest?
The grape harvest is an agricultural activity. Even when integrated into a sophisticated wine tourism program, it pays to choose your clothing with comfort first in mind.
Wear closed-toe, comfortable footwear, lightweight clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, a hat or cap, and sun protection.
For experiences involving foot treading, confirm in advance what you should bring. Some properties provide part of the equipment. At Cas’Amaro, for example, the program includes a hat, shears, and bucket for the harvest.
How to reach the estates from Lisbon?
For some experiences—especially in Oeiras—using public transportation is relatively straightforward. For rural estates in Alenquer, Cadaval, Torres Vedras, Tejo, or Palmela, traveling by car tends to offer much greater flexibility.
This is particularly relevant because many programs start in the morning and the wineries can be located far from train or bus stations.
Anyone planning to taste several wines should, naturally, arrange transport responsibly—choosing a designated driver, booking a transfer, taking a taxi, or using another suitable alternative.

Grape harvest near Lisbon: a once-a-year experience
Participating in the grape harvest in Lisbon is a unique way to discover Portuguese wine. Instead of simply tasting the finished product at a wine tasting, visitors step into the vineyard right as a new cycle begins in the winery.
In 2026, there are experiences for virtually every profile: the hands-on harvest at Cas’Amaro in Alenquer, programs in Bucelas and the West region, a free harvest in Oeiras, experiences along the Tagus, and even offerings featuring foot treading, gastronomy, live music, boat trips, or overnight stays.
The choice comes down to what you are looking for. For some, the unforgettable moment will be cutting their very first cluster. For others, it will be treading the grapes or sitting down at the table after a morning’s work in the vineyard.
The key is to book early and confirm dates before heading out: the harvest follows the rhythm of the grapes, not our calendar.
