Wines by Albufeira - Joao, the Guide, is great. He was explaining to us along the way many curious facts about wine, corks, region, etc. The winery is familiar, very small and with a great treatment. Highly recommended activity in Algarve

Fabulous tour of a winery. - A fabulous tour of Silves and the Quinta Do Frances winery. Catia, our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. The wines we got to sample were delicious, snacks too and we learned so much about the process and different types of wines. It was a bonus to stop at the castle, walk around the walls, learn a bit of the history and see the storks! Highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour - We went on the Silves and Wine Tasting tour in April 2024 and had an amazing time- our guide Catia was very friendly, warm and had great knowledge of the area, history and was happy to chat and tell us all about Portugal! The vineyard was beautiful and the wine delicious - all in all the tour was great value for money, and a lovely way to see some of the area and enjoy an afternoon

A Fabulous Experience - The wine tasting at a local winery in the country was lovely and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was fun to stop along the way to see a cork tree up close and buy fresh picked oranges and lemons from a sweet lady with a road side stand. We also loved going to the Silves Castle!

Castles, Grapes, Cork and More! - Our Guide, Carlos was fantastic. A bonus on this tour was the opportunity to stop by Portugal’s largest castle in Silves. The winery is a new winery and the wines were good, not remarkable. This app did include pick-up in the price and it even had our hotel as a drop down option for pick up. We then found out the night before we had to meet the costing us another 40 euro to/from. Otherwise a nice tour with a very friendly guide with good English commentary. Orbigado!
