Amateurs de vin: Visite de cave avec dégustation et tapas (Albufeira/Vilamoura)

Today, we visited this wonderful vineyard which we booked through TripAdvisor. We were collected from our hotel by the absolutely wonderful Emanuel, he was an absolute gentleman and an asset to the team. Despite me messaging to tell him we wouldn’t need a lift back to our hotel as we decided to go onto Villamoura, he still came back to the vineyard with wonderful homemade Portuguese treats, which we thoroughly enjoyed! The tour was very well run (don’t be silly like me and wear sandles!), we got to taste the actual grapes, visit the fermentation areas and then had a lovely wine and tapas experience. Our host was wonderful and although I don’t drink red wine, I was given the option to try a wine we’d had before; the sparkling wine was sublime! My husband and I bought two of the bottles that were on offer. Aside from the wonderful experience, the tasting area was spacious, very clean and very comfortable. We had a great time and thank you to the wonderful Emanuel and our host at the vineyard.

Interesting and friendly wine tour. Hotel pickup up Vilamoura, twenty mins to vineyard. Shared with 6 guys from Bedford, nice bunch. Tour Guide passionate and knowlegable. Drivers excellent and friendly.

We really enjoyed this trip and would definitely recommend it. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable and the guide at the vineyard was very knowledgeable. We were guided through every step of the wine making process and it was all interesting. We then sat on a lovely terrace eating tapas and drinking really good wine looking out over the vineyard, it was just lovely.

Lovely trip with a fantastic informative and friendly guide. Obviously would have liked a lot more wine :) but had to make do with picking up a few more bottles to take away

A really enjoyable couple of hours spent at the winery learning about wine making. The wines were delicious and it was a stunning place to enjoy the afternoon. When we visited it was a very hot day. I would advise to take water with you.

Good and interesting talk by guide. Very hot so little running in the field, good wines we tasted.

This was a great winery tour… very informative. The wine and charcuterie were delicious. Be careful (not sure if it was a tour company error or viator) , I chose my pick up spot and they changed it. We drove a half hour longer than we needed to, right past where we needed to be. No email, just said amended on reservation and had a new pick up place. It was a ways out of the way.

Great tour! My mum and I wanted a day out and this was just perfect. Our guide / owner was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, which made the experience both informative and enjoyable. The vineyard itself was beautiful, well-maintained, and clearly cared for with great attention to detail. The winery building, where all the magic happens, was fascinating to see. We especially enjoyed the tasting room, which overlooked the production area and gave us a unique view of the winemaking process while sampling the wines along side some tapas. Overall, it was a fantastic tour from start to finish. We also had the opportunity to purchase some wine at the end, which was perfect for enjoying during the rest of our holiday. Highly recommended!

Was a nice little outing and learned a little bit about this history of wine growing in portugal. Lovely time.

Nice interesting and informative tour. Lovely wine tasting and tapas. Friendly driver and tour guide. Small negatives, no air con in transport, not enough tapas! But did not spoil the experience.
