Your guide was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. He spoke fluent English which helped us, since we don't speak Portuguese or Spanish. Overall a very pleasant experience. We visited in Aug, 2019. Must visit place.

Fabio was a fantastic guide. He is passionate, engaging and incredibly knowledgable about all stages of the harvest, wine production and tasting. As someone who has been on many wine tours, I still managed to learn something new and different. We had a wonderful morning and I would highly recommend booking any tour with him. Obrigada Fabio!

Rented villa with pool, lovely and peaceful, huge pool, all very clean, beds comfy, excellent shower. Tv not up to much, hardly any English channels, but not much time to watch so not a problem. Vineyard/villa quite isolated so had to drive to go anywhere. Staff very friendly, couldn’t be more helpful. Small problem with double booking, so had to move villas for last two days, but was dealt with amicably. Grounds amazing, worth a visit if not staying

It impresses immediatelly you enter it and drive through its flat lands and small hills, surrounded by agricultural fields of vines, flowers, cork and olive trees, pastures full of cattle and much more The region has old traditions in the wine production and a troubled story made of advances and retreats, but in the last decades has affirmed its full potential as wine region of excellence and arrives to the present day as a main actor in the panorama of portuguese wines.

I am travelling alone and always like doing food tours in a new city. This is one of the best I have done. Maria was attentive and a good storyteller; we went to 5 different places that I would never have found or gone into alone and all were excellent. I really can't recommend this your enough.

We went on the tour on a cloudy day. Our guide was Victor, who seemed to know everyone! There were nobody else so we basicly had a private guided tour. The pick up was at our hotel at 09.30 and started with a trip to different beaches and places nearby, while we were waiting for the first wineyard to open. We got a lot of history about everything! Next stop a local honey-maker. A lot of fog on the top of the mountain, so no view. Stopped at a small local restaurant for lunch, then went to the last wineyard. Thank you, Victor!
