“Best Private Wine Tour there is! Our private wine tour of the Douro Valley with Alfredo was the highlight of our trip! We were picked up at our hotel and transported with care into a day filled with magical moments! Not only is Alfredo knowledgeable about the beautiful area and the wine grown there, he delighted us with historical facts, humor, and a shared interest in music! Our first stop at Casa do Romezal was a beautiful start to our day. The owner Luis was filled with infectious enthusiasm for the area and the wines his family is blessed to produce there over many generations. His genuine love of the land and his heritage are evident in all he says and does. His wine and olive oil selections were as impressive and the estate the produces them. We loved them so much; we had some shipped home. The ordering and shipping process were easy and effortless! Because we were surprised to like Port so much, Alfredo made an unplanned stop at a nearby Port maker so that we could try Vintage and Late Bottled Vintage ports. It was an incredible experience! After a beautiful drive filled with stunning views, Alfredo took us to an incredible farm to table lunch at Cais da Ferradosa. Our multi-course meal of all locally sourced ingredients was paired with exquisite wines. It was at this meal that I learned to love port and tonic! Our food was flavorful, beautiful, and thoughtfully presented and prepared. This family-owned operation provided us with a five star experience and an amazing view! To complete our day, we were treated to a tasting of stunning selection of wines at small privately owned vineyard and hotel. This ideally located vineyard and hotel offered such an intimate experience with sweeping views of the Douro Valley. I kept thinking what a remarkable venue it would be for a destination wedding! All in all, our day was simply perfect. If you are looking for a personally curated tour away from crowds and cookie cutter itineraries, look no further!”

“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!!!”
