I really knew nothing about port - my impression that it was a sweet, heavy wine that old men drank after dinner in period British dramas. I learned that there's a huge variance in types of port and that the industry is really working to attract younger drinkers and introduce new things. The tour started at a traditional producer, then moved to an independent, local place and finally ended up at a cutting edge, new house with a fabulous rooftop bar. Our guide Lucas was great! He was extremely knowledgeable about port wine but also full of great suggestions about Porto and had good insights on the history and culture of this great city. Our other tour mates were cool and fun to hang out with - definitely a good thing for solo travelers to check out. At the end of the day I learned a ton and have a greater appreciation for port wine (not sure I'd drink it often but I do know what to order now). Recommend!

We really lucked out! We were the only two guests on a Sunday, a day when vineyards are normally closed. This means we had essentially a private tour the whole day. Our guide, Yara, was very friendly and knowledgeable about both the region and about wines. It felt like we were driving around with a friend and not a tour guide. We stopped for regional sweets in a small, quaint town, then for Moscatel in another small town, then lunch at a beautiful, old vineyard, and finally ending with a Port tasting. Each stop included food and drink, complimented by information shared about all the items by an owner or manager. It was a very full but rewarding day! Pick up and drop off at your hotel/Airbnb is also a nice perk!

The staff was all very professional and there was a guide on hand that spoke English. We had aperitifs and lunch on board during our cruise. We were served a white Port before lunch and then lunch consisted of 3 courses with both a white and red wine made with grapes from the immediate area we were sailing through. The main course of beef was delicious and it was all topped off with a super tasty cheesecake. During our break time in Pinhão we walked out to the Symington visitor center and even got to pick some grapes from the vineyard at the visitor center. Great memories were made on this cruise!

Our Sunday started just before 9am with pickup at our AirBnB, and then off to the valley. On the way to The first Quinta, Bruno planned 2 stops, one overlook with breathtaking views and the next has been a favorite stop for he and his family for decades! The first Quinta was so welcoming and the wine wonderful and complex, not all port but the port was divine. Next was lunch at DOC where The chef happened to be onsite and was so kind to join us for a picture after an exquisite meal expertly paired with wine. Then on to the second Quinta where we got an opportunity to talk with the wine manager who is passionate about wine, but most importantly living life. He could not personally join our tour, only because he was waiting to show the Mondavi family the impressive landscape of his vineyards! The ride home to Porto was lengthy, but Bruno is so easy to talk to and took us the long way home to point out his favorite spots for us to try. We took his recommendations for dinner the next 2 nights and were more than impressed! Thanks Bruno, and to your wife, for such a perfect day. We cannot wait to return and look forward to following you on Instagram! ;)
