Douro Three Winery Tour - Book Now, Simply Amazing!
Cooltour Oporto exceeded our expectations for the Douro Wine Tasting Tour. We love wine and supporting small producers so when we were looking for a tour most of the other tours seemed very generic and were going to the same places. While we wanted to taste port we really wanted to try some other wines too and this tour did that. We went to 3 different small wineries and received amazing history and tastings. The first one had cats, history and excellent white, red and one port wine. Our excellent guide Rodrigo then whisked us off to the next winery driving through breathtaking scenery. He made stops at amazing viewpoints and gave us some more background about the Douro Valley. Our 2nd winery had a gorgeous tasting room that they recently completed with spectacular visuals of the history of their family and wine making. The wine tasting was beautifully set up and we enjoyed hearing about each wine. The final stop was up high with the most stunning views of the valley where we enjoyed a homemade lunch with way too much food, wine and a dessert (a heavenly creme brulée). Rodrigo then took us around the property to explain how port is made there. After the tour we sampled 4 different ports including a rose one which I didn’t even realize was possible for a port and even a vintage 2014 one. The staff at every winery was so lovely and welcoming it made the day so special. While you are not doing the river cruise here, honestly didn’t feel like we needed that at all. Hearing the history and tasting the love that goes into these wines was just absolutely unforgettable. Thank you Cooltour & Rodrigo, we will never forget this adventure and definitely made us want to come back in the future.

Excellent Day with an Excellent Guide
We had an excellent day with Paulo visiting the major sights in Braga and Guimaraes. He was knowledgeable and personable, always willing to answer questions and go beyond our expectations. The lunch provided a welcome break in the day, with top-notch food and drink. Highly recommended!!

Surround yourself with religious history & discover the birthplace of Portugal
What an amazing place Guimaraes is as the birthplace of Portugal. A UNESCO site with medieval buildings & narrow streets lined with cobblestones. History is wonderful! Braga is truly amazing too filled with religious history. So much to see in a few hours! Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious! Loved it Our guide Alvaro was knowledgeable & explained everything in excellent English! Thank you
