I thought they were already saturated with tourists?

Maybe this is meant to continue the interest with a different demographic.

I suspect they are more interested in getting people out into the actual wine regions, as opposed to Lisbon and Porto.

Portugal's president is under self-quarantine
From CNN’s Vasco Cotovio in London

The Portuguese president has self-quarantined himself after it was found that a class from a school with a student confirmed to have the coronavirus visited the presidential palace last week, according to a statement issued by his office.

President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa interacted with the class on Tuesday, according to the statement, which added that neither the student with the infection nor the student's class had visited the Belém palace.

The president will be in quarantine at his personal residence for two weeks, has canceled all public activities and will not be traveling abroad, the statement added.
Maybe he just wanted some "me" time :-)
