Douro Valley immersive wine tour

“We had an amazing private tour of the Douro Valley with Alfredo. There were 4 in our group and every one of us enjoyed the whole day. Alfredo is very nice, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the Douro Valley, wine, and Portugal. Alfredo’s van is spotless and very comfortable. Alfredo is a great driver and we felt safe the whole time even though the roads are sometimes narrow and curvy. Our first stop was at a small vineyard where the owner took us on a tour of the vineyard and taught us all about growing grapes and making wine in the Douro Valley. We also had wine and olive oil tastings there and all the wines and olive oil were excellent. We went to a second vineyard for a tasting and a delicious lunch. This was a really beautiful place with nice views and excellent service in the restaurant. After lunch we went on the river cruise. There were other people on the river cruise, which we expected from the description of the tour. Alfredo accompanied us on the boat and explained about the area while we were going down the river. Our last wine tasting was at beautiful vineyard with a hotel on the property that overlooks the Douro Valley, again beautiful views and great wine. Alfredo’s tour exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend this tour! You will be missing out if you pick any another tour company.”

“Douro Wine tour and Braga day tour Alfredo did such an amazing job with this tour for my family. He was so accommodating for my family of 11. He customized and tailored the entire experience to fit our exact needs. He was so incredibly informative, enjoyable and wonderful to be around. I could not recommend using someone more for your time in Porto than Alfredo!”

“A beautiful day in the Douro Valley we will never forget Alfredo from the beginning was patient responsive, respectful and full of ideas on how to structure a day as we had a condensed timeframe of only 8 to make our ship’s departure. We started as 6-7 but in the end had 15 people after other friends found out what we were doing while in Porto. He picked us right up at our ship and we began our journey to the beautiful Douro Valley in a smaller comfortable bus. We started at a smaller newer winery venture of Vieira de Sousa and wow everyone was surprised by how good their whites were and LOVED their ports and I have a case enroute to my home in the US as well as do others! We were alone in their gorgeous tasting room over a hundred years old and perfectly refurbished . Two amazing sisters started this beautiful winery and the day was off to a great start. Next we went to the stunning property of Quinta de Pacheca which is just an amazing larger property with large wine barrel rooms you can stay overnight in, yes that’s right. Here we were escorted to a private dining room and started with a tasting followed by a phenomenal lunch with more wine pairings!! The hosts were amazing! Let’s just say we bought multiple cases in our group here. We also picked up a few bottles for our next private boat ride on the Douro River- it was breathtaking! This was stated by many in our group to be the best excursion of our 10-day cruise and memories we will cherish for a lifetime! I for one can’t wait to go back and plan a month out in the Douro Valley!! Cheers to all and enjoy and thank you Alfredo!! ”
