Douro Valley Wine Tour from Porto

My boyfriend and I spent the day with Filipe and he was an absolute blast! He was full of knowledge, humor, sarcasm (all in good fun). There were 2 other very pleasant couples in our van; within the first hour of our ride, Filipe was either filling our heads with trivia or hilariously roasting us. The tone set by Filipe and being in the company of such an amiable group right off the bat made the drive to the Valley go by so fast. As far as the estates we visited, both were so charming and enjoyable in their own ways. Both estates have been run by the same family for 10-12 generations and their love for Porto wine shows everywhere. We tasted many different varieties which were all amazing. Our delicious lunch was served family style and we were joined by Filipe and, of course, some lunchtime antics. I highly recommend this tour and if you're an outgoing group, please please request Filipe!

What a wonderful day despite the rain. Phillipe our guide was entertaining and informative. The van was comfortable and all our stops were interesting. Thank you for taking us to an amazing area.

The full-day tour of the Douro Valley from Porto was one of the real highlights of our Portugal trip. The drive was stunning, with winding roads, steep terraced vineyards, and endless green hillsides. Our guide, Andreia, was friendly, well-organised, and full of passion for the region’s wine and history. The day struck a perfect balance between sightseeing, learning, tasting, and relaxing. We visited two vineyards, each with its own character. The ports were excellent (of course), but the local wines were a real surprise. Lunch was served family style in a converted schoolhouse, which made for great conversation and lots of laughter. The short boat trip on the Douro was calm and scenic. It’s a great day and worth every minute. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Andreia!
