As we were coming from Faro, we were picked up by our driver and tour guide, Carlos, at the main bus station. He was right on time, and a wealth of knowledge. Wines were good, as were the Tapas, but Carlos made the tour.
This was a great combination tour. We were able to view cork trees and get history on the trees as well as all the info on production of corks. We got to view storks in nests with their young, very cool! Then on to the winery, which was one of the best wine tours we’ve ever done. Guide (João) was very informative, the best guide, very knowledgeable.
Great fun in the Algarve for a small group. Wineries were lovely and wines were good. Our driver and guide was very knowledgeable and so very personable. Highly recommend

Carlos is such an amazing and informative host! We enjoyed delicious local wines that can only be found in the Algarve region. The free time in Silves was a nice break to explore a smaller, historic village full of good shopping and eateries.
Great experience! The cheese was hard, so it could have been fresher for the tapas, but overall a wonderful experience. The wines, people, and views were absolutely wonderful!
