Thank you Joao! - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. Joao was a great guide and the landscape was incredible. Due to weather, the boat portion wasn't possible, but they added an extra winery tour/tasting. The 3 wineries that we visited were very well chosen, each one quite different from the other, with great hosts. The Douro Valley is a unique landscape that shouldn't be missed.

The Duoro Valley is... - The Duoro Valley is special. It’s a beautiful, hardy region with incredible wine, and BL Heritage was the perfect company to visit with. They take small groups, so it’s not a cattle call experience. I was lucky enough to get an awesome group of people I genuinely enjoyed spending time with. BL Heritage picks smaller wineries that feel more homegrown and intimate. They also made sure we skipped the boat ride because it was too dangerous from the recent floods. Our guide, Joao, was so knowledgeable and personable. If you’re on the fence about spending a day in the Duoro Valley, don’t be!! You won’t regret it.

Must do when visiting Northern Portugal! - The guides make the experience!
The first winery had an amazing host who not only taught us all about the vineyard/wine making process but kept us laughing the entire time. Very fun day. Highly recommend.

Don't miss this special experince with this great company! - I have been on wine tours around the globe, and this was my favorite. The guide was relaxed and knowledgeable. The vineyards we went to were very special and I learned a lot from the winemakers. I appreciated that the boat was electric, so it was a peaceful outing on the water. They also had tasty snacks. All the wines were great and the lunch was delicious. I never felt rushed or pressured. It was so nice to not feel like it was a cattle call, as on so many of these types of tours, you feel like you need to move on so the next group can come in. This was private and carefully tailored to create a memorable experience. I would recommend this outfit and this tour to anyone.

Wonderful tour and guide of a beautiful area! - Cannot recommend this tour with Leandro enough! A friend of mine had gone on this experience on a trip a year prior to mine, and said that this was the one thing we could absolutely not miss out on, and I’m so glad she did as I could not agree more!
This day trip was the perfect blend of history, personal connection, delicious food, wine, and scenery. I felt like I really got to know the area and the people and really appreciated how Leandro and his team went above and beyond to make the entire day fantastic.
I also have celiac disease, and was amazed how they were able to accommodate me throughout the day. We had some snacks on the boat portion of the trip, and they even got gluten free bread to put on my own charcuterie board so it was safe and separate from the rest of the groups! The group meal also provided me with my own oil to dip my GF bread in, and I felt very safe enjoying the day the whole time.
Will definitely recommend this experience to any friends and family visiting Porto/Portugal and hope to one day go back again!

Fantastic day in Douro valley with delicious wine! - We absolutely loved this day trip into the Douro valley!!! A true highlight of our trip and an absolute MUST DO if you go to Porto! Zach was so friendly and knowledgeable and he helped us all open up and get to know each other as well as provided really interesting historical anecdotes along the way. We loved that the tour focused on supporting smaller wineries and thoroughly enjoyed our stop at Quinta de Foz. The boat tour was fun as well and it was nice to get a quick snack between drink stops. The lunch was delicious and the second set of wines really good too. All around a great experience and we would recommend this to our friends and family any day!!
