Every year, on November 11, we celebrate St. Martin’s Day in Portugal, which is actually an autumn ritual that combines roasted chestnuts, fire, new wine, and socializing.<\/p>

In the wine-growing region of the District of Lisbon, this date takes on a special flavor, as it combines the proximity of the vineyards, the tradition of magusto, and the discovery of the first wines of the year.<\/p>

If you are a visitor passing through Lisbon or live in this region and want to enjoy an authentic moment of wine tourism and tradition, this guide is for you. Here you will find everything you need: what magusto is, why people drink \u00e1gua-p\u00e9 and new wine, how to organize or participate in an event in 2025, and, most importantly, in which wineries and municipalities in the Lisbon District you can taste this very Portuguese spirit.<\/p>

Oeiras is known for its historical heritage, natural beauty, and wine-making tradition dating back to the 18th century. Despite being one of the most urban municipalities in the metropolitan region, Oeiras preserves wine tourism gems of enormous cultural and gastronomic value, such as the famous Carcavelos Wine, one of the oldest wines in Portugal.<\/p>

Just 17 km from the center of Lisbon, about 15 to 20 minutes by car, the Marqu\u00eas de Pombal Palace in Oeiras is now the epicenter of this unique wine experience, combining history, culture, and flavor.<\/p>

In this article, we explore the possibilities of wine tourism in Oeiras: visits to historic wineries, gastronomic experiences, wine festivals with specific dates, and all the practical information you need to book your experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Confirm the date: Although the day is November 11, many events at wineries may bring forward or extend the magusto to the nearest weekend.
Choose the location: Urban parks (in Lisbon or the suburbs) or farms\/wineries that organize wine-themed magustos are excellent options.
Get ready to roast chestnuts: Bring good chestnuts, a knife or nail to mark them, coarse salt, and a safe board or container to stir them in the embers.
Bring your own wine or choose to taste: Many wineries offer new wine or grape juice on site.
Atmosphere and entertainment: Enjoy the bonfire, the laughter, the conviviality, and sometimes traditional music, savoring the ritual as much as the flavor.<\/p>

For those looking for a genuine wine tourism experience, combining the magusto with new wine tasting in a winery setting makes all the difference.<\/p>

Some of these farms and wineries can be visited through organized tours. See options for visits and wine tastings on GetYourGuide<\/a><\/strong><\/span> or Viator<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> and enjoy the spirit of S\u00e3o Martinho.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00c1gua-p\u00e9 is a traditional Portuguese drink with low alcohol content, made by adding water to grape pomace (p\u00e9 or enga\u00e7o) after pressing, fermenting in a simple way. In the context of S\u00e3o Martinho, it is a light and very popular drink to accompany chestnuts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

New wine is the first wine of the harvest, which traditionally can be tasted from St. Martin’s Day onwards. In Portugal, there is a strong tradition of tasting new wine on this day, and there was a time when its sale before St. Martin’s Day was prohibited, under penalty of a fine.<\/p>

In Lisbon and the surrounding area, new wine is an invitation to visit a winery, climb up to the vineyards, and experience the \u201cfreshness\u201d of this still-young vintage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An unmissable combination is roasted chestnuts, \u00e1gua-p\u00e9 (a traditional drink made from grape marc) or chilled new wine (or at the right temperature), with the autumnal landscape of vineyards and wineries.
