This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Porto. We took our adult children with us and were staggered at the beauty of the Douro valley…truly magical! ... read more We were very comfortable in the Mercedes Van, and loved our smaller group (5 of us, plus 2 other guests). Our driver took care to make sure our drive included breathtaking views. The optional boat ride add-on was well worth the added price, and provided a nice rest and change of view. While we were hesitant about the cost, it was WELL worth it!

He explained to us the different regions of wine in Portugal and the basics of different kinds of wine. We tried a bunch of whites, reds and even a port wine. All the wines were TOP quality so they were all really enjoyable to have. We learnt how to see the color, taste the wine, mostly it was a lot of laughing, talking and drinking.
We chose this tasting because of the sommelier experience/status of the host and the fact that it showcased a variety of wines from all over Portugal, not just Douro, not just Port wine. This turned out to be a great decision. Strongly recommended, this is definitely an experience you should sign up for!!
