Itinerary
Located on the north border area of Portimão and Alvor. With the big mountain of Monchique, that dominates the view when we are at the vineyards, this large property has also growing areas of cork trees, wheat fields and orange trees. In the family since 1865 and producers of grapes from a long time, this farm built their modern winery in 1999 and were the first producing certified designation of origin wines in the Algarve. In the esplanade, at the shop or at the oak barrels is visible the tradition of this family estate.
Located north Portimão, already on Silves county. It's an exclusive wine farm production, the one located most north in the region ,right on the beginning of the Monchique Mountains. Owned by a portuguese-french couple that met at Bordeaux, where he was born and grew up surroundend by the influence of wine. They moved in the region at the beginning of the century to start this project from zero. In the slopes of Odelouca River Vlley, they planted their vineyard and built their small but well equiped winery, that also hosts a tasting room, barrels room and laboratory.

Perfect tour guide Fbio. Beautiful sights, wine is worderful and the food options are amazing. Would recommend to everybody to add the meal option. The restaurant has in great view and the food is so good.
This was a great and relaxing tour. Nice drive through the countryside. It worked well for a cruise excursion.
Dear Doug. Thank you for your reviee and kind words. All the best.
Fabio was fabulous. His knowledge of wines and how they are made was very informative. His demeanor was very friendly and welcoming. The wineries were beautiful places. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you for doing the tour and glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your great review. All the best
It was a nice afternoon with interesting information about the two wineries and a very sympathetic guide. Overall, however, I find the tour too expensive, there were 3 very short-priced wines to taste each and the small tapas plates we had to pay extra with 15 € per person. Last year I booked a wine tasting directly at a winery nearby, 4 wines and tapas for 25 €. There was even restocking on request.
Dear Stephanie. Thank you for doing the tour and I'm happy that you enjoyed. Thank you for your review. Regarding your comparation of price, I accept your opinion, just have to add a note to say that It is asked 15€/person for Tapas at 2 different wineries, what means 7,5€ at each. My experience is a tour of two wineries, not provided directly by the winery, I'm a tour operator, with a dedicated guide, transportation and that in this case was reserved trough an online platofrm (Tripadvisor/Viator). All the best
Great trip- learnt a lot. Highly recommeded
Hi Helen. I'm glad that you enjoyed the experience. Tahnk you for the review. All the best
I am from Canada. Specifically near the Niagara Ontario area where wineries are abundant. Today’s tour with Fabio was by far the best and most informative wine tour and tasting I have had. I highly recommend this experience
Hi Jennifer. It was a pleasure, thank you for your words and for all the interest during the tour. All the best
This is an excellent tour. The owner Fabio led our tour. He is very knowledgeable on all aspects of the vineyards and wine making process. He explained the wines we tasted in a way that was easy to understand. A must do tour.
Thank you so much for your review. All the best!
Wonderful tour, host was knowledgeable without overexplaining. Wines were so nice and each one explained with tasting notes. Highly recommended.
Dear David. Thank you for your words and review. It was a pleasure to have you again in a tour. All the best
