Not Port! Wine Tour
Not (another) Port Wine Tour!
Experience 4 different tastings as we explore Porto.
We’ll explore Porto’s best viewpoints away from the historical center as we travel from tasting to tasting discovering other amazing wines Portugal has to offer. No Port included on this tour!
What to expect:
- A local experience. With a local. Away from all the other tourists! ;)
- Explore Porto off-the-beaten-path as we travel from tasting to tasting with João your private guide.
- João curated 4 local tasting experiences, from table wines and liqueurs to cocktails, with interesting pairings, all Not Port.
- No monuments included but the occasional church to repent between drinks (those can be replaced by more drinks ;) ).
- Amazing moments, at a slow pace and loads of photos!
- End with a Espumante toast in one of the many gorgeous viewpoints overlooking the city.
Our Itinerary:
After we meet your guide will 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!
Disclaimer: we take no responsibility in you falling… in love with Porto!
