Douro Valley Wine Tour with Lunch

We are big wine lovers so wanted a tour with more vineyard visits and no boat ride. This fit the bill!

We have used CoolOportotour twice now for Douro Valley wine tastings. Both have been memorable experiences. We love that they are small group and the guides are always great. Rodrigo was the guide this time and he did a terrific job. We highly recommend using CoolOportotours.

Excellent full day tour of the Duoro Valley. One of the only options we found that included three wineries instead of two. All three were enjoyable plus a stop for a delicious traditional Portuguese lunch. David was an excellent guide - he was knowledgeable, fun, helpful and informative and went out of his way to make the tour comfortable for all guests. Good blend of small producers that still provides a great look at the region. Whites, reds and ports there was something for everyone. Would highly recommend!

We were searching specifically for a three-winery tour in Douro Valley that focuses on small producers for small groups and we did not regret going with Cooltour Oporto. We had the best time with José and we were impressed by his knowledge of wine-making in the region. It was informational but not overwhelming, and the interactions were casual yet professional. The three wineries we visited were Quinta Santa Eufémia, Dois Lagares and Rumo Silvestre with lunch at a former school called Vista D'ouro. We had the best experience at Santa Eufémia and Dois Lagares. They were intimate as we had some great conversations with the owners of the wineries learning about their amazing wines. Both places offer a sit-down and relaxing tasting in a beautiful setting. Lunch was a simple three course Portuguese meal with wine, of course and we were treated with such delights as roasted pork, baked cod with cream and pudim. While it was no elevated dining by any means, it was satisfying after our morning tipple. Rumo Silvestre was much less impressive as the experience felt more like a high-volume winery tour at a small sales centre. We stood throughout the tour and the introduction to their wines felt impersonal and more like a sales presentation. It was such a pity we ended the day with them. Overall, it was a pleasant tour even though the third winery was a let down. We hope Cooltour Oporto would re-assess their partnerships to ensure that the wineries provide a boutique and personal experience. We would be more than happy to consider other tours with them when we return to Porto.

Amazing tour. The three wineries were great destinations in beautiful and diverse locations. The wines themselves were also great and diverse. The van was comfortable. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend for people who love wine since this tour is composed of 3 wineries instead of 2 plus a boat ride like most other tours
