A tour that really gets you to know the whole process of making the Moscatel from Douro. A great and entertaining guide that takes you through the factory and tells you how the grapes are selected, what is the difference between the Moscatel and the Porto wine, you get to see how the bottles are labeled and the wine being poured into them, and it culminates with a very good and rich Moscatel tasting!

This Quinta is amazing! We heard of it through the hostess of our AirBNB. It is a bit off the National 222 so less visited, but it's really worth the trip. We were kindly greeted by one of the young members of the family who run this winery. She took the time to explain the process of vinification of the Douro wines and port wines. The views from up there are absolutely breathtaking, some of the best we have seen in the Douro Valley. Our guide walked us around and showed us some of their olive trees, which produce a divine olive oil (really worth it!) And what about the tasting! We liked every single product that she made us try. Because of the custom regulations, we had to make some choices. Or else we would have bought much more bottles! There are numerous Quintas in the Douro Valley, many of them are more commercial and do mass production. This Quinta really stands out, we see that this family cares about what they do. We strongly recommend you to encourage this smaller producer who offers quality wines.

We were fortunate enough to be able to book Emanuel for multiple trips - to a restaurant for dinner, a wine tour, and a simple trip in town. In every way he was great - punctual, polite, knowledgeable, a safe driver, and multilingual as well! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Régua!

With more than a century of history and tradition and 12 acres of vineyard and olive trees, Quinta do Beijo (directly translated to "The Kiss Winery") was born from the ancient “Calvário warehouses”, owned by the family for more than 100 years. Now renewed, refreshed and with new energy, it has to offer great quality wines, a promising olive oil, all together with a new touristic offer based on our traditional winery. Quinta do Beijo it's a big family where the mother, the father, the grandsons, husbands and wifes all contribute to maintain the status of a family owned business in the extraordinary Douro region, considered World Heritage. Located in Celeirós do Douro, a typical wine producing village, and located 25 km from Vila Real in Sabrosa municipality, Quinta do Beijo contributes to the extraordinary landscapes of the Douro Region, a region known by its breath taking vineyards and terraces It is right in the heart of Douro that we invite you to visit us!

This will be your favorite stop in Douro. Amazing wine tasting at a family owned boutique winery with knowledgeable staff (thank you Eric!), breathtaking views, delicious and reasonably priced wines done in traditional method. The winery offers a range port and standard wines, giving you the chance to taste a range of possibilities from Duoro. The drive to the top of the hill where Quinta do Beijo is located, is very picturesque and exactly the type of imagery that will stay with you long after your trip to Duoro finishes. Eric, our host, has worked in wine in New Zealand, and grew up in the wine business in California and has been working with Portuguese wines for some time. He is very knowledgeable and can go as technical as you would like or keep it light and fun. We really enjoyed hearing about his perspective on the Portuguese wine industry. He was an excellent host. We also enjoyed the wine. The whites were aromatic, acidic, very approachable. The ports were a highlight as well, especially the aged ones. Seeing how the winery still practices traditional methods of crushing grapes with your feet during harvest, was very special. As a former wine importer, I look for quality in the wine, stories, passion, uniqueness, pride in the product and traditions, a sense of place and purpose and I found this at Quinta do Beijo. This would be a memorable tour, especially if you have Eric as your guide.

We had a fantastic day in the Douro Valley with Antonio, he safely drove us to all the points of interests and vineyards. He even helped us arrange for the visits and gave us some insider knowledge and tips. His car is super clean and very comfortable, his attitude was extremly friendly and it was very pleasant to drive with him. Will definitely book with him on my next visit.

This modern museum built behind a preserved façade has well displayed, interesting artefacts depicting the bread and wine making that this village is famous for. Our guide was excellent and interspersed her explanations with stories about the history of the village and her own life here. There are also interactive displays that children as well as adults will enjoy. Trying to identify different smells in wine was particularly challenging but fun. We also watched a video made by local children encouraging people to visit. They obviously enjoyed making it and we enjoyed watching it. We ended with a spectacular view over the valley from the balcony.
