Fun afternoon at winery
Loretta_O, October 2026
Tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. He grew up in the area and knows all the locals. Knows his audience and catered to our group of 6 women, taking our photos and playing our favorite music in van. Great afternoon to see more of the beautiful countryside in Algarve. Wine selection was also fabulous!

Fun Tour

Joao our driver and guide throughout the tour was polite, friendly, courteous funny and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain many aspects of Portugal, how cork is produced and how wine is also produced. A stop off at Silves Castle on the way was very enlightening and well worth the visit. I could go on, you need to experience this tour yourselves to appreciate everything. Highly recommend.

Wine trip
Lesley_M, September 2026
It was a really good trip. Nice drive to Silves, short stop long enough for a trip inside the castle or a quick drink, knowledgeable driver who chatted all the way with interesting facts about the area. Then the winery trip was informative but not too longwinded. The tapas and tasting were nice and time for a proper glass of your favourite before home. Well worth it!
