If you have been thinking about booking this experience but haven’t yet decided - just do it! You will be so happy that you did!! We are on a cruise and really wanted to visit the Douro Valley region. Ricardo picked us up from our ship and curated a special day for us. Even though we were limited on time, he was able to make our experience feel relaxed and leisurely. The drive to the valley was comfortable, beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with Ricardo as he told us about the area and also thoughtfully explained about the Portuguese culture, people and the history of wine and port making in the region. The Quinta that he took us to is Portuguese family owned and it is surrounded by beautiful vineyards. Our tastings were delicious, casual and not rushed. We thoroughly enjoyed their Port, Wine and the overall experience. Our lunch was also on the property and it was amazing! Thoughtfully prepared food that was absolutely delicious. We seriously enjoyed lunch as much as we enjoyed our tasting experience! We hope to someday return to the Douro Valley and I would book this tour with Ricardo again in a heart beat!

Wonderful!

Molly_G, Jan 2026
We had such a lovely day - touring the Doura valley was on my bucket list for ages and I’m so glad we had such an excellent driver. The views were breathtaking and the wine tasting superb. I broke my budget ordering port to ship home - worth it!

Good tour with friendly guide.

Lovely day in Douro Valley

Even though it rained on and off most of the day, Ricardo made sure to plan our trip so that we were able to visit two wineries and have a wonderful lunch. Ricardo was excellent in showing us around, providing a history of the Douro Valley and answering our questions. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Ricardo was truly excellent. Very knowledgeable, very prompt, and a great driver. The excursion was memorable: The scenery and landscape were beautiful and we enjoyed our wine tasting immensely. It was a wonderful introduction to this most exceptional wine region of the world. We appreciated Ricardo’s being flexible concerning our schedule. Thank you Viator for making this happen. Best regards, Rob Goodman

Good value Duoro wine experience

Val_D, Sep 2022
The first tasting of olive oil and wine was exceptional. The boat ride was less memorable. Lunch was fantastic but left too little time for true afternoon tasting

Visita del viñedo fue excelente. A parte Ricardo fue super accesible y atento . Definitivamente es algo recomendable.

viaje relajante, paisaje espectacular, gran comida

javier_m, Oct 2019
es muy recomendable, si te gusta la naturaleza y los paisajes, es ideal. Ricardo es una persona tranquila, el coche es cómodo, no se hace largo el viaje, al parar en numerosas ocasiones.
