Don’t miss this tour! - Sara was our guide and she could not have been better or friendlier. Both wineries were outstanding tours and great wines and ports. We especially loved the hosts at Solar Dragos. Despite the cold rainy and windy weather the boat ride was fun too

Douro valley wine tasting tour - Even though it was a rainy and windy day, this tour turned to be an extraordinary experience, predominantly thanks to our driver and a guide Hernan. Knowledgeable and animated speaker, he told us about the history of the region, the wine growing and making over the centuries. Both wineries visits were exquisite, with generous tastings and pairing. Out of the whole experience, the boat ride was the least exciting, presumably only because of the weather, and because there was no guide to tell us what could we see on the shores. Still, overall : great experience and worth every penny.
