A pleasant afternoon experience. João taught us a lot about wine, wine bottling and corks. We also stopped at Silves and got to walk around the castle
Fab afternoon, carlos was the best guide you could wish for, so full of information and so friendly, never rushed
Our guide, Carlos, was amazing and so full of interesting information about the area, history, Algarve region, and the wine making process. We made a stop at the historical Silves castle and it was beautiful. The wine tasting and tour at the vineyard made for the perfect ending. Wines were delicious and the view could not be beat.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience.
Filipe was the best tour guide! He was communicative and prompt in picking us up from our specified location. He had lots of in-depth knowledge regarding the areas, cork harvesting process, and winery. Filipe was very thorough in answering our questions and very funny too! The tour itself was four hours and each stop felt like part of a whole journey. My group walked away feeling like we learned a lot from the tour. Overall, this tour was very well done and the wine tasting and tapas at the end were a hit. Thank you, Filipe for a great trip!
Carlos was amazing. He was very informative about the region and shared his knowledge of the trees and fruits of Albufiera. The winery was amazing and the place and area worth to see. Best orange juice ever.
5+ stars to Carlos We were a group of 8 friends so delighted to get a personal private tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the winery. Carlos was very knowledgeable,it was very informative & a fun experience. Definitely recommend this tour. The wine was Amazing!!! Worth going into the castle for a look around in Silves. The storks nesting atop lampposts was amazing to see.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience.
Very highly recommended. Really enjoyable, interesting, fun tour. Reliable and helpful. We were kept well informed throughout. Picked up at hotel and taken to tour minibus, by Joao, comfortably and on time. He was conversational and interesting. Good timings, never rushed. Carlos was the driver, very good to all the clients, gave interesting and relevant descriptions throughout the tour. First stop was to see the castle from road in, spectacular views and lots of storks nesting nearby ( even more in Silves itself) . Silves was a nice town to wander through and to see the castle. Then on to briefly see cork trees and descriptions of cork production etc. Winery visit was fantastic, with a great tasting session ( we were also able to pay and add a few more tasting wines, ) Winery staff were really lovely. Nice views from terrace and balcony. Then return. Very sociable tour, as well as informative. Interaction with, and support of, us all was superb. Very highly recommended, and we’re doing the whole day tour with them in a few days time!
anks for the stars! We truly appreciate your support and love knowing we made you happy
Carlos took us on a half day wine tour giving us many facts and telling us stories along the way. He was so knowledgeable and personable and he made it such a fun experience or all of us. It was truly a terrific afternoon!
Top class, really enjoyed this tour and experience, Carlos was a great guide for the afternoon and gave a great tour of the area and winery, he also gave us plenty of tips for places to see and eat in the area. Highly recommend this tour
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review. Your feedback means the world to our team!
We enjoyed the visit! The guide was excellent and shared a wealth of fascinating information. The explanations regarding the vineyard were clear and comprehensive. However, the wines selected for the tasting fell short of our expectations. The visit to Silves Castle was too short (20 minutes).
