The tour was phenomenal. From a small, family vineyard that felt like having a meal in their home, to seeing the beautiful warehouse with floors full of barrels. We had such an amazing time, and had the sweetest guide.

Excellent time. Wine and lunch were delicious. River boat tour was the best.
This was an amazing tour! Our driver Nuno was wonderful & the staff at both vineyards were amazing. Lunch was also delicious & plenty of food. The only bummer was during the boat ride they ran out of all beverages within 10 minutes of it starting. Otherwise it was lovely & I would recommend this tour to anyone!
Fires should have been told to us ahead of time and we should have been given the option to cancel. The food was one of the worst meals of my life. The driver was speeding. Last winery was beautiful.
They could have served better wines or taken us to better wineries. The boat trip on the river was the highlight
Fantastic experience! Pedro was a wonderful guide. Five ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a wonderful day exploring the beautiful country! The wineries were different but enjoyable experiences. The boat ride was beautiful! Bernardo was a very kind and knowledgeable guide.
