“We booked the tour the day before when spaces opened up. Staying in Cavoeiro, we took bus 107 to the vinyard, which worked fine and was only a short ride with a little walking. If you also want to do this be aware the bus only goes once an hour and you'll likely not catch the last bus back, but the Uber was also very affordable. The entire afternoon was very thought through - from the wine, the food and the music. The dishes were amazing, traditional Portugese with a twist by Go, the amazing cook. The wines matched perfectly to the dishes. Overall a great experience!”
