Our Sidecar Reviews
Our Itinerary:
After meeting your guide we’ll start with the plan for our tour.
The rhythm will be slow-paced with lots of stops to soak in the views, take photos, learn how they relate to the history of Porto, and enjoy the 4 different wines and cocktails tastings.
This is a local experience with drinks and foods your guides enjoy in places where they meet their friends or grew up. And we prefer to keep them as a surprise ;)
We’ll explore off-the-beaten-path away from the historical center to see other views of Porto. From the river to the ocean and across to Gaia as we chase the next wine.
As we make our way to the Douro river and the ocean we will have our first tasting, a portuguese liqueur, and beautiful views!
Now it’s time for a different Cocktail along with amazing photos as we seat by the river watching the boats go by.
As we make our way slowly to cross the river, our next stop is an amazing tasting of a fresh table wine paired wonderfully with local savory “petiscos” ( small bites). Included more amazing photos!
Continuing on the other side of the river Douro to make our way to the best views of Porto. With a small explanation, your private guide, will serve you a Espumante, while you take your time to enjoy the beautiful views!
