Overall, Wine Tourism Portugal curated an exceptional experience that beautifully blended cultural exploration, culinary delights, and scenic beauty. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the rich wine culture of Portugal in an immersive and enjoyable way.
So hard to pick one - everything was so good. A few comments:
Both Gabriel and Gonçalo were OUTSTANDING drivers. Very kind, competent, good conversationalists. They were great guides as well as drivers. Gonçalo provided wonderful historical context of Portugal as a whole as well as Lisbon. I learned so much from him - great teacher!
The wine tour and lunch at Quinta de Chocapalha might be the best overall wine tour I have ever experienced - and I've been to many. Monica gave a very detailed history of the property, the different sections of land and grapes, microclimates, terroir, and the facilities. She had a great sense of humor as well as being knowledgeable. Lunch with wine pairings was wonderful as Alice Tavares spent the entire time with us. Love the wines and all the people.
The boat ride through the Douro Valley was wonderful. Beautiful day, the captain of the boat was charming and personable.
We finally got back and settled. I would like to comment on several things that help with the highlights of our tours.
You were the first step in making the trip exceptional. Working with you was one of most pleasant interactions that I have had in a long time.
You were always calming to any change, question are modification to the trip. That started with making the trip wonderful. In today’s world, people have jobs and they just do the bare minimum. You and your staff love what you do and it shows.
The driver Fernando Ferreira was also exceptional. He treated us with care and made sure that we enjoyed our tours. He knew the event better than we did and prepare for us for upcoming events. Furthermore, he always had cold water, which was pus for me because I drink a lot of water. He was also very knowledgeable of Porto, the wineries, Douro Valley., and Portugal.
Maria Jose Moreira did a wonderful job with our walking disability. She managed to get my Husband to walk for three hours, which he has not done since his back surgery three years ago. She also pointed out some wonderful places to buy local things from Porto.
Highlights were the Hotels, the wineries, the meals, and working with your company.
Quinta do Vallado Wine Hotel was beautiful to locate in the Douro valley with wonderful smell of fruits tree, herbs, and views. Perfect after long travel.
The breakfast was fresh and accommodation was comfortable. Winery was great also.
PortoBay Flores Hotel was a great pick in Porto, right in the heart of things, loved the location, comfortable, with wonderful breakfast.
All the wineries were wonderful. They all made wine, but each one had such a unique characteristic.
Six senses dinner at the chef table was special, great first night.
Cooking workshop was wonderful.
Doc was great.
Decastro was wonderful, we got a chance to taste Portugal food, it was great, but there was no wine pairing.
I would like to thank you for such a wonderful visit to your country.
There were only two experiences that were a little less wonderful than all the rest; surprisingly, the visit to DOC was one of them. The service was hurried and the food was certainly good, but not excellent. The plates all appeared to have been prepared long ahead of time rather than freshly made and though they were interesting to the eye, we didn’t find the flavors to be memorable. As my Dan said, it was a sort of like a factory there, where they were moving a high volume of people through as efficiently as they could. The other experience was at Quinta da Pacheca. The atmosphere there was a little too commercial for our tastes. This was the only visit we made where we felt some pressure to make a purchase, with a card listing prices sitting up prominently on the table in front of us when we sat down, and our guide asking us what we’d like to buy before we left. Everywhere else, we had to ask our hosts how to make a purchase. A small issue, but it did make a significant difference in the quality of the experience. We spoke with another couple later that day at our hotel who we’d run into at Quinta da Pacheca, and they made a similar observation.
A couple other notes for you; Vila Galé was very nice. Our room (103, I think) was incredible. It was huge, comfortable and the views were spectacular. The bathroom was tiny, but adequate. And finally, our driver was a mixed experience for me. He was certainly a skilled and knowledgeable driver, just a bit too talkative for my tastes. I don’t want to jeopardize his standing with you, but thought you should know in order to match future clients with drivers suited to their personalities.
Finally, I have to thank you again for all you did for Dan and me. I really enjoyed working with you and we will never forget our incomparable tour of the Duoro Valley. You and your team are aces!
All the best to you,
Diane
Throughout the tour, every experience was thoughtfully curated. Whether exploring cultural landmarks, indulging in gastronomic delights, or immersing myself in local traditions, each moment felt authentic and memorable. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between must-see attractions and hidden gems, allowing me to discover the true essence of the destination.
Our favorite was Herdade do Sobroso (our favorite last time). The wines are great and the duck rice is so delicious. This time the winemaker Filipe gave the tour, and he did a great job explaining the wine-making process. It was truly a memorable experience.
Thanks again for all your help. I will reach out the next time we plan a trip to Portugal.
Best Regards,
Jonathan
Every aspect of the tour, from the meticulous planning to the warm hospitality, was executed flawlessly, making it a memorable journey through Portugal's rich wine culture.The standout feature of this tour was undoubtedly the exceptional attention to detail and kindness displayed by Wine Tourism in Portugal chosen drivers. From the moment we embarked on our adventure, they ensured every aspect of our experience was tailored to perfection. Their knowledge of the region, coupled with their passion for hospitality, elevated the tour to new heights.
One of the most memorable moments of the tour was undoubtedly our visit to Quinta das Carvalhas. The beauty of the estate, nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Portugal's wine country, was truly captivating. Under the guidance of Alvaro Martinho Lopes, we embarked on a journey through the vineyards, learning about the rich history and winemaking traditions that define Quinta das Carvalhas.
What truly set this tour apart was the level of customization offered by the company. From the initial planning stages to the execution of the itinerary, every detail was carefully crafted to meet our preferences and expectations. Whether it was arranging special tastings or accommodating specific dietary requirements, the team went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience.
We had the most beautiful holiday in Portugal. The wine tour of the beautiful Douro Valley was Five Star.
The hotels we stayed in were superb and we wished we could have spent more time relaxing in them. The Food was excellent, we had never been treated to such magnificent dishes.
The wine tours were very informative and we enjoyed the tastings too.
Our "driver" Joao Martins, was so much more than a driver! His knowledge and passion for the valley and Portugal were infectious and inspiring. He really made our tour so interesting, and easy and answered all our questions. Really needs far more than a 5-star rating!
Each wine estate had its own charm, but we enjoyed their guide Anna at Quinta do Crasto, and the lunch at Terraçus at Quinta Nova across the valley. The one thing we can say was not such a highlight was the boat trip. The views were magnificent.
All in all, we were really treated like Kings and Queens and highly commend your tour company.
Thank you for accommodating us, what with the Covid epidemic in between. Your professionalism, efficiency, and friendliness have been appreciated.
Thank you from all of us.
Kind Regards
