Traveler reviews
It's a wonderful way to...
It's a wonderful way to see the valley and try some wine tasting without spending multiple days away from Porto. Expect a lot of wine and a full day.
Too long in between the wineries!
While the wine was good and the location was beautiful, it was way too long in between stops. A lot of people were falling asleep between the stops. We opted to do the 3rd winery rather than the boat ride and I’m glad we did! When we met back up with the rest of the group following their boat ride, they said it was just okay since it was hot and there was no food/bar on board. It was at least 30 mins between every stop and a very long time from when we got on the bus until lunch which was around 2pm. The lunch spot was beautiful and offered unlimited wine which was nice.
Fantastic wines "20 year old port is Christmas in a glass"
Rita was our guide and she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and wines itself. We were surprised at the terrain of the Douro Valley and did not know how steep the slopes were where grapes were being grown. We would highly recommend this tour (some of our group did the boat ride on the river). The lunch was fantastic. Great experience.
Fantastic views and wine in the valley
Fantastic tour. Good value we felt for a whole day tour including lunch. The tasting pours were all generous, especially at the first place with lunch - we were given a bottle of red and a bottle of white to drink with our food which they replenished when the table had finished it. It was all lovely quality and the setting was fabulous. An amazing sunny day in the Duoro valley. We did the option with 3 wineries, some of our group were on the 2 wineries + boat trip. The last winery was well worth it - fab views and a couple of extra ports to taste. Probably the only thing I would say is I expected more Duoro table wine and less Port, but the ports were all nice just a little stronger and sweeter.
Excellent Trip and Guide
Rita was a GREAT guide! Very knowledgeable and fun. The Douro Valley was spectacular, the wine and food was amazing. Very well done.
