A brilliant tour, thank you! - We had an amazing tour with Rui! As it turned out, we were the only ones on the Monday morning tour. So we had our own personal tour. Rui was a fun and informative guide. The historic town of Silves is really interesting, we were given half an hour to explore and walk through the Main Street. Then off to the vineyard, which was really lovely. A small family run and very friendly vineyard. We had 4 nice wines to taste accompanied with a lovely tapas. Plus, Rui had picked some fresh figs on the way which he shared with us during the wine tasting. He then gave us a tour of the wine cellar and explained the process of wine making. We have done wine tours in New Zealand and Australia and never had the experience of a cellar tour. It felt very intimate and not too commercial. No pressure to buy wine but of course we took home a few bottles. They were very reasonably priced. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend.

Perfect day trip from Lagos - Awesome half day trip to the beautiful town of Selves and then to a lovely winery! Scenes were fantastic, wine was delicious and our guide Antonio was friendly, knowledgeable and fun! I only wish it lasted longer :) would definitely recommend this for a casual afternoon trip from Lagos to enjoy the surrounding algarve!

Wine tour of Silves and Monchique. - António was amazingly knowledgeable and likeable.We never felt rushed or overwhelmed by all the information. He patiently showed us many of the fruit producing trees and explained how the cork is harvested from the trees. We were treated to castles and cathedrals and gorgeous views. The end of the trip to Silvas and Monchique was a special tour. The wine tasting put everyone in an excellent mood. Thank you António I would rate your tour a 10 out of 10.

Lagos Wine tour - We enjoyed this wine tour as a group of six. Antonio our driver was excellent from booking the tour and also during the tour.Our first stop was at Silves castle which was very interesting. We then set of to the winery and to sample some wine. Once again Antonio had an excellent knowledge of the wine and we went on to purchase some wine to take home. Antonia then took us down into the vats and bottling area and explained the process from start to finish. This was an excellent tour with an excellent tour guide. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Nice winery, the rest was average - The trip to the winery was nice, with good and interesting wines. Our guide was very talkative, but hard to hear from the back seat of the van. The trip to Silves was not very interesting without specific guiding. I would've preferred a second winery instead.
