Wine, Castles, and a truly unique Algarve experience - This was the perfect wine tasting tour. We started at a small family owned vineyard. After trying out some truly unique Portuguese wines, our guide took us to a beautiful medieval village where we toured a castle and walked the streets. Then after relaxing for a while we were whisked away to a second lovely vineyard for more exceptional wine and incredible views of the Algarve. The guide was very nice and extremely informative. I would recommend this to anyone! 5 stars

Great time - Great day out. Carlos was a very knowledgeable guide telling us not only about the wine but it's production and about native trees and bushes. Had just the right amount of time to explore Silva and have lunch.

All day wine trip - Carlos was great to have as our guide Very informative about the area we travelled to. Very knowledgeable about the vineyards and their products First tour of the two was the best. Vanessa was a super hostess and passed on lots of info. Very gracious young lady The second winery was so different Basically they set the samples in front of us but provided no info about their winery or products.
