Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

The weather was not cooperative, so we weren’t able to do the boat portion, but honestly it didn’t matter it was so great ( and they added another winery to make up for it!). We learned so much about wine and how to drink it. It was really quite informative. The day ended with an amazing dinner and great conversation. I can’t say enough about Betnardo-he was very informative and really gave us a view into the non tourist life in Portugal. Everyone we came into contact with that day were very kind and welcoming. Our favorite part of our trip to…”
