Comments on Portugal by Wine experiences
Perfect place to hang up, relax with incredible views of the Douro River and enjoy a picnic with a good wine! We loved it!
I went there to do the classic visit & and wine taste, and it was a very interesting experience, I liked a lot. The place is beautiful, and the staff service was excellent.
Our friendly and knowledgeable driver, Francisco, picked us up at our hotel in Douro Valley and took us for three tastings at two quintas in the valley and a tasting room in Pinhão. We booked super last minute (the day before) for a Sunday tour. We knew options for private tours and tastings would be limited given the short notice but Francisco put together a great line up for us. Our favorite was Quinta de Gricha, maker of Churchill’s brand wine and port. Nestled in the hills on the south side of Douro about 30 minutes north of Pinhão, the expansive view was breathtaking. We arrived during harvest where workers were actively stomping grapes by foot in 100+ year old granite tanks. The wine was exceptional — both the DOC still and the Port wines. Their Dry White Port was particularly fun. We would definitely tour again with Portugal by Wine and are thankful to Francisco for creating such a memorable experience on short notice!
La visita se inicia en el museo de carruajes. Las piezas y útiles expuestos son interesantes, con un aspecto de cuidado impecable. Las explicaciones ayudaron a valorar más la sala. Luego visita a una pequeña zona de viñedos, próxima al museo, en un enclave natural característico del Alentejo. La cata de vinos llega tras el paseo, que se realiza en la propia tienda de productos donde, finalmente, adquirimos algunos de los presentados. Queremos agradecer el esfuerzo idiomático del guía de la visita que hizo que esta fuera aún más satisfactoria. Muchas gracias.
Experiência incrível, tábua de produtos regionais excelente (pedido extra) , guia muito simpática
The combination of Port wine and artisanal chocolates was a pleasant surprise. The staff was knowledgeable, and the setting was cozy. A great stop for those looking to enjoy a unique tasting experience in Vila Nova de Gaia.
We spent a really wonderful morning with JoAnn as our guide/host, learning a great deal about the history of the quinta and the processes of making their wonderful wine. The concluding tasting in a beautiful stone building with perfect accompaniments made the experience complete. We only wish we had saved more room in our luggage to bring back wine, because we really loved it especially the vinho verde and the sparkling red! (We ordered some for delivery in the States but there is a large price increase).Fantastic value and personalized tour!
Our guide knew a lot about the Oporto and we loved to walk around the city and know all the main places. Besides, the food here is great and the people are very nice. We loved the Oporto and we hope to come back!
I’ve wanted to have an experience like this for a long time. It exceeded all my expectations!
Quinta do Seixo se encuentra en un lugar muy especial con una vista impresionante sobre el Douro. La visita fue muy interesante y los vinos son de gran calidad.
