ドウロ渓谷のプライベートワインツアー｜テイスティングとランチ付き

We had such a lovely experience on our private tour in the Douro Valley with our tour guide, Alfredo! Not only was he very informative, but the boutique wineries that we were brought to were each unique & beautiful in their own ways. The whole day went smoothly, was well planned, and we never felt rushed to wrap up to go to the next place. The location is full of breathtaking views and an interesting history that will be shared with you throughout the day. Would highly recommend the private tour to have a more unique and individualized experience.

Paolo was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable on all things Porto and the Douro Valley. We had gotten so lucky with the weather and the day tour was thoughtfully planned and gorgeous. Paolo let us take as much time as we wanted at each stop and was a joy to have in our group. Two members didn't get a chance to eat breakfast, and he stopped in a small town to talk us through some small bites to get and still made sure we were on schedule for the other items listed below. Stops: 1. Vineyard for first tasting. Viere de Sousa - incredibly accommodating. My partner and I just got engaged and they were kind enough to give us a special pour (each of our 6 person group), their 40 year old tawny port to celebrate. Bought a few to bring home. 2. Pecheca vineyard for second tasting and three course lunch. Lunch was very well done and had some of the most beautiful grounds. 3. The Vintage House Hotel - boat tour down Douro Valley. Stunning 4. Visit to Pinhao train station 5. Drive back to Porto Paolo stayed with us for over about 12 hours today. Would do it again tomorrow if we could!

This was a great experience. The Douro Valley is spectacular. We visited three very different and interesting wineries. Both the wines/ports and lunch were very nice. Paulo is an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with. The tour was also very well paced. We highly recommend it.

Alfredo was an incredible guide! My wife and I have done many guided tours throughout Europe and we have to say this one was our favorite! We loved the entire itinerary that Alfredo curated for us, and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys wine!

Alfredo planned and executed the perfect day for us. He was able to pick us up in Porto, take us to three beautiful wineries, each one very different from one another which is exactly what we wanted to experience. We also experienced a gorgeous boat tour in the afternoon. He knew the best place for us to have a beautiful lunch - one of the best entrees I ate my entire trip. Alfredo is knowledgeable, kind, efficient, and brought an organized and calm presence throughout the day. It was perfectly planned and stress free. It was also amazing to get from Porto to our next lodging in Douro. We would recommend this wine tasting day over and over again! Thank you so much, Alfredo!

Alfredo from the beginning was patient responsive, respectful and full of ideas on how to structure a day as we had a condensed timeframe of only 8 to make our ship’s departure. We started as 6-7 but in the end had 15 people after other friends found out what we were doing while in Porto. He picked us right up at our ship and we began our journey to the beautiful Douro Valley in a smaller comfortable bus. We started at a smaller newer winery venture of Vieira de Sousa and wow everyone was surprised by how good their whites were and LOVED their ports and I have a case enroute to my home in the US as well as do others! We were alone in their gorgeous tasting room over a hundred years old and perfectly refurbished . Two amazing sisters started this beautiful winery and the day was off to a great start. Next we went to the stunning property of Quinta de Pacheca which is just an amazing larger property with large wine barrel rooms you can stay overnight in, yes that’s right. Here we were escorted to a private dining room and started with a tasting followed by a phenomenal lunch with more wine pairings!! The hosts were amazing! Let’s just say we bought multiple cases in our group here. We also picked up a few bottles for our next private boat ride on the Douro River- it was breathtaking! This was stated by many in our group to be the best excursion of our 10-day cruise and memories we will cherish for a lifetime! I for one can’t wait to go back and plan a month out in the Douro Valley!! Cheers to all and enjoy and thank you Alfredo!!

My husband and I had a truly wonderful day with our guide Alfredo Santos in the Douro Valley. We don't often do guided tours like this, and it was the highlight of our vacation. Alfredo is an exceptional guide - He has a wealth of experience as a guide and in tourism, and has created a thoughtfully planned day. He shared his detailed knowledge of the history of the Douro Valley as well as the production of wines from this unique area. Alfredo took us to a few select wineries - from a small family farm where we got to walk around the vineyard and hear from the owner, to a larger family owned winery with an incredible three course lunch, to a winery with a phenomenal view of the valley in the afternoons sun. The day also included a short boat ride on the Douro River. The day felt wonderfully relaxed; from being picked up at our hotel in Porto to the stops in Douro Valley, we never felt rushed or tired. Alfredo grew up in Porto and speaks English exceptionally well. Alfredo is attentive and authentic - He truly cares about the Douro Valley, the families/wineries he has connected with there, and the people he brings on this tour.

The best experience in Portugal. At first we thought it was a bit expensive, but after the tour we can say: worth every penny. Start with lunch at the stunning farm of the pacheca, where each dish, entry and dessert signed by the chef was harmonized with excellent wines. Alfredo is a person who combines knowledge and sympathy without being forced. A day we'll never forget.

If you’re planning a trip to Porto, this Douro Valley tour is an absolute must! Our day started with a perfectly on-time hotel pickup by Alfredo in a spotless and very comfortable VW T7. From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome. His English is excellent, and throughout the day he shared so many interesting stories about Portugal, the Douro Valley, its history, and its wine culture. His passion and knowledge really made the experience special. Our first stop was a small, family-owned winery, where we learned a lot about the region and the winemaking process while enjoying a fantastic wine tasting in a very personal setting. After that, Alfredo took us to a stunning winery with breathtaking views. We enjoyed another excellent wine tasting followed by one of the best lunches we had during our stay in Portugal. The day continued with a stop at the beautiful Pinhão train station, famous for its traditional blue tile artwork, before we relaxed on a peaceful boat cruise along the Douro River. It was the perfect way to take in the incredible scenery. Overall, this was a truly unforgettable experience. Without Alfredo’s local knowledge and carefully planned itinerary, we could never have discovered the Douro Valley in such an authentic and enjoyable way on our own. 10/10 experience – highly recommended! If you’re visiting Porto, don’t miss this tour.

We had a wonderful day with Alfredo as our guide in the Douro valley! He is so knowledgeable and gave us the history of the area while we traveled to each stop. The wineries he selected were exceptional, the three course lunch was incredible, and the boat ride was the perfect end to our day. We would recommend this tour to family and friends traveling to the area.
