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!

We started our project in 2012, when we decided to change our lives and move out from the city to small village in the Basto region. We are passionate by nature, travels and outdoor activities. We feel that the world of outdoor activities is not just the domain of cold and suffering but that with quality equipment and service, is a pleasurable active way to enjoy the beautiful landscape we are blessed with living in the midst of. We do not see disabilities as a barrier to outdoor activities and pride ourselves on our ability to enable people to achieve what they want to. We aim for high quality and try to deliver this throughout. We have chosen equipment that makes for the most pleasurable ride.

Not easy to reach but well worth the effort. Continue down the road from Galafura to Covelhinas and on to Regua for a real treat.

We stayed at the Quinta Monte Bravo, a bit off the beaten track but lovely and Teresa's dinners were far better than at any restaurant we visited in Portugal except maybe one. The sheer beauty of the terraced vineyards and olive groves plus the beautiful and historic river Douro are just amazing! And, yes, this is a UNESCO World Heritage site, which speaks for itself!

We took the short drive up from Pinhao to Casal de Loivos and were not disappointed. It is definitely worth a drive if you are in Pinhao and if you have an hour time left I would suggest you spend it at The nearby small « olive oil museum » where you can enjoy similar views while tasting their local products

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.

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.
