Perfect Day - Our host arrived early and that was a perfect start to a perfect day! Ricardo was easy going, gave us lots of information, and engaged us in interesting conversations about culture, entertainment, food and wine. We had a lovely lunch in a traditional Portuguese restaurant and following that we had a bit of time to get some nice pics. The day flew by. And we loved the tour and the wine tastings! It was our best day of our stay in the Lisbon area. Glenn and Cathie

Our guide Paolo was... - Our guide Paolo was lovely and entertained us all day. We ended up in the mountainous are near setubal which was gorgeous. A fun mix of wineries, one more rural, one historic where the 7th generation of the founders still work and a coop style where people bring their own grapes. All the wines were delicious and Paolo was knowledgeable. He also took us for a pit stop to a studio that paints authentic Portuguese tiles and it was fascinating to watch them work. Lastly we stopped for lunch at a very authentic mom and pop restaurant which was delicious and cheap! Had a great day with this company would use them again in a heart beat.

Amazing wine experience!! - Our group had an amazing day on this tour! Rodrigo was a great driver. He let us take the day at our own pace which was great. At the first winery Sonya was so knowledgeable with all the questions we shot her. At the second winery we had an amazing time with Vera and Pete. They both have such passion for their jobs and it shows!! Highly recommended tour!!

Top wine tour with a wine expert - This is a great tour for anyone who has a great interest in wine, Joao was a wine garu but not stuffy at all. You can see he is full of passion in wine, and explained the history, culture and wine making story really well. The 2 wineries we went are small batches, top quality producers so a rare gem in the region. Must try tour for serious wine lovers.
