We had a wonderful trip. The scenery was beautiful, and our tour guide, Hernan introduced the wine region to us in a very professional way. He was also friendly and helpful. The wines and the lunch were also good.

Views breathtaking despite the rain! Our guide Sara funny and knowledgeable giving us lots of information about the history of the area and a background to port production. The two venues for tasting were well organised with guides who are passionate about what they are producing and able to pass on their knowledge. Also we felt very safe with our driver Mario and his immaculate mini coach.
