Overview

This is our tour specially dedicated to wine and all aspects of its making. Recommended mainly to only true wine lovers.

You will sample a vast array of completely different wines from producers with very different backgrounds, experiences and approaches to wine making. Simple, elegant and fruit forward. Traditional, bold and prestigious. Out of the box, creative wines made by non-conformists. You will taste all of the above and by the end of the day you will have the knowledge to pick your wines from Douro and understand its labels and styles, wherever you go.

Lunch will surpass your best expectations and you will taste local cuisine paired with yet more lush wines.

If you aren't yet sold then get this: your guide is just as enthusiastic about wines and its specifics as you and you will be doing all of the aforementioned in what probably is the most scenic wine region of the world.

Make the best of your stay in Portugal and don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Joao was amazing! This was our favorite day of the entire trip. If you want a relaxing day, amazing wine, and views look no further.
Great Private Douro Valley Tour!

Our family of 4 did the private Douro Valley Tour. It was a last minute booking for us and the team was more than accommodating with the booking as often it is hard to communicate in another country to get something booked last minute. Joao was our guide for the day and he was highly knowledgeable on the area and the local wines. A great conversationalist and full of fun facts for the entire duration of the journey as well. We stopped at 2 wineries, and had a tasting at another. Lunch was also highly recommended by Joao which did not disappoint. We stopped periodically throughout the tour for photo spots and particular points of intrest. Would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone in the future.
Highly recommend!!

João was our driver/guide for the day and he was great! So knowledgeable about the area and the various wineries. He took us to some fantastic wineries varying in size: small, medium, large.

We absolutely loved the first winery, Quinta da Fonte do Milho, and enjoyed speaking with the winemaker. The wines, olive oil, etc. were great and the setting in which you do the tasting was fantastic!

The second place, Quinta do Cume, also had a beautiful setting and selection of wines.

The final place, Quinta da Pacheca, was amazing. We had lunch at The Wine House Restaurant and it was one of the best meals we had on our entire trip! They do a lovely wine pairing with the meal as well. After, we had a tasting outside and it was very enjoyable. The wines we tried were good but the ports were great.

We couldn't have asked for a better day and better wineries to visit. Highly recommend doing a tour with Oporto & Douro Moments, you won't regret it!
Fabulous private wine tour. Highly recommend!
