On this exclusive private sommelier tour you’ll embark on a journey through the heart of two renowned Portuguese wine regions, Verde and Douro, guided by an expert sommelier. Our private hire will pick you up from your selected location and will first take you to a beautiful lush green winery in the Verde region for a walk in its beautiful gardens and a wine tasting session. We will then head into the heart of the Douro Valley, stopping at a few stunning viewpoints that showcase the valley’s terraced vineyards and winding river. You will visit the second boutique winery and a modern high tech one, where you’ll taste the finest Douro wines and Port and take a guided tour to its cellars, a rare opportunity to witness the traditional grape-crushing and winemaking process first-hand. Between tastings, you’ll savour a traditional Portuguese lunch at a local restaurant. This intimate tour promises not only a deep dive into the art of winemaking but also a memorable culinary adventure amidst stunning vineyard landscapes.
Optional: Alternatively, skip one winery for a shared boat ride! Or contact us to discuss booking a private boat with sparkling wine.
