Passeio privado ao Alto Douro

“This full day tour is absolutely incredible and a must when you are in the Douro Valley. To start off, Alfredo is not only very knowledgeable about wine and the region itself, but also very polite and considerate. Furthermore, we were recommended to do this tour by friends of ours who highly regarded the tour. About the tour itself. Alfredo met us at our hotel and drove us to the first winery. On the way, we stopped at various lookout points and he enhanced our knowledge about the wine region and its history. Our first stop was Gueda Wines. This selection for the first stop was incredible. At this stop, we tasted various wines (white/red, as well as port wines) and had our own individual charcuterie boards to pair with the wine. Following the tasting, we went into the vineyard and our guide talked in great detail about their family history, maintenance of the vines, harvesting, etc. We then headed to Ferradosa, which is a farm to table restaurant. We were amazed by the delicious meal and wine pairing. Not to mention, it had amazing views of the Douro River. During our 10-day trip to Portugal, this was by far our favorite traditional restaurant. Moreover, when the waiter brought each course to the table, he explained in detail what we were eating, where the ingredients are from in the Douro Valley, and how it pairs with the specific wine that we were given. We then headed to Messias Wine Cellar next. This was one of the highlights of the tour. In this 200+ year old cellar, we sampled old port wine directly from the barrel and were given a tour of the cellar. During this stop, we learned in great detail about the history of port wine and how it is made. This is an experience that I will always remember! The last stop of the tour was at Quinta Do Pego. Once again, it was a great selection by Alfredo that included red wine and port wine. Alfredo took the time to explain what wine we were drinking at this stop, what it pairs with, etc. It is evident that after many years of business, Alfredo has carefully selected what wineries and restaurant he brings his guests to. My wife and I were very thankful about that. Furthermore, at each stop, it was private and as a result, we were not mixed in with other wine tours. We are so happy that we decided to do this tour and it was by far the highly of our 10-day trip to Portugal. If you are in the region, then we highly recommend this tour!!!”

“Treating my family from Hong Kong to this private wine tour in Douro Valley was the highlight of our trip (or any vacation for that matter). Alfredo was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, always making sure that we were enjoying ourselves and that we were happy with the pace of the tour. The selection of vineyards was perfect for a day trip. Each stop offered a unique experience. We were able to meet passionate small estate owners and sample vintage port from superb years all in one day! The outdoor wine tasting with picturesque views of the vineyard and mountains was a real treat. Alfredo really pulls out all the stops and spares no expenses to ensure that this tour is of outstanding quality. The lunch at Quinta Da Pacheca was exquisite (the sea bass and port wine cake were some of the best dishes we had in Porto). This was, without a doubt, the most flawlessly executed tour out there. We were able to soak in magnificent views, learn and sample the best wine Douro has to offer, and enjoy a gourmet 3 course meal. Alfredo really goes above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Extremely glad we chose this tour!”

“Alfredo was an incredible host. His knowledge of the douro valley is superior and very informative. From meeting vineyard owners dining in five star restaurant. This was the best wine tour that we have been on around the world, thanks Alfredo”
