Portugal is one of the best wine destinations in the world where you can indulge in wine tours, peaceful views and unique experiences. Here are some useful tips to help you plan a visit to wineries and vineyards in Portugal and make the most of your tour in Portugal.
In order to better plan your wine tour in Portugal, first we advise you to learn more about the best Portuguese wine regions and make your own itinerary. Investigate a little about the types of wines produced in each wine region and make a decision knowing what you will get. If you are in Porto maybe it is easier to book visits to Porto wine cellars, but if you are looking for a wine tasting in the vineyards maybe you will find wine tastings in Douro or wine tours in Alentejo better. Feel free to ask for our help!
Next you have to decide whether you want to book a wine tour with a professional guide or if you just want to relax and learn more about the wines at the site with the producer.
Portugal wineries are famous worldwide and tend to be filled up fast, mostly in the summer or fall when the harvesting takes place and wine tourism peaks. So if you want to make sure you will have the chance to visit that particular vineyard or winery in Portugal, make sure to book your wine tour in advance and you don't have to worry again.
Maybe you are wondering how it is possible to make a wine tasting tour with kids but we can guarantee you that it is not only possible, but also enjoyable. Many wineries and wine estates in Portugal have activities for children which take place outdoors. Some even have animals such as dogs, horses or goats for your children to play or be entertained with and other activities such as cooking workshops, bird watching and jeep tours.
One of the good things about Portugal is that there is a wide range of offers when it comes to wine tastings and tours. You can taste the finest Portuguese wines paired with the best chocolate, jam or cheese made in Portugal or you can just get your gloves on and take part in the harvest. Our advise is: do both!
Sometimes two wineries or estates may seem close in the map but in the country the journeys may take a little longer than expected. Our advice is to always check the map in the Portuguese wine regions tab in our site or ask for our help to help you plan a tour that you will be able to do and enjoy in your own time.
