Ready for a fresh and crisp Wine Tour? Want to dive deeper in a Wine region away from all the crowds and most commercial routes?

This is a your opportunity to know in-depth one of the underrated wine regions of Portugal: Vinho Verde.

Perhaps you thought Vinho Verde wines were simply just fizzy and light white wines? Or maybe you thought it was… well, “green“?

We are here to provide you with an experience that will show you the essence of Vinho Verde wine, as well as the cultural and historical background of this extremely significant region!

The route will consist of two wineries and a lunch break.

The wineries. We give emphasis to small scale producers who hold the keys to the secrets and origins of the region’s wine culture.
No commercial or mass production facilities.
We only work with winemakers who can actually spend time with us while tasting, sharing their stories and their lifestyle.

Lunch. One thing is certain about the Northwest of Portugal: it’s the cradle of our gastronomy!
There will be plenty of quality restaurants wherever we go. We can suggest a couple of options and then make a choice.

Amazing guide, amazing wine, wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

We got picked up at our hotel in Porto and we ended up being the only participants this day. After a drive through the countryside we visited an independent wine farmer at his vineyard in the Vinho Verde region, called Quinta das Escomoeiras. Spent a good amount of time touring the beautiful premises with the owner and Pedro, learning about the winemaking process and of course tasting some of the great wines that the Vinho Verde has to offer, all complimented by homemade snacks made from produce from the farm. Overall a very educational but also relaxing and fun experience. We had lunch in a charming village before we headed over to another wine producer. Here we once again toured the gardens and vines before we had a tasting of four different wines. All throughout the day, Pedro taught us about winemaking, different grapes and local food. For Pedro, showcasing the smaller wine producers in the region was important. We think this was a great choice, getting a bit away from the more crowded and "industrialized" producers, and instead get to visit family-driven, self-sufficient and sustainable wine farms. Vinho Verde might not be the most famous wine region of Portugal, but offers beautiful nature, friendly hosts and of course great wine. Altogether an amazing trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, a lot of experiences and memories, but at the same time relaxing and down to earth. It was a truly enjoyable experience and one we highly reccomend. We hope to return sometime.
