Overview

We will take you to Monção & Melgaço to try the delicious wines made with the Alvarinho grape, considered the noblest varietal of the region. It is a region of old traditions and peculiar looking vines, but also of delicious smoked sausages that pair beautifully with the Red Vinho Verde!

You will be doing more than guided visits and wine tastings at 2 familo-owned wineries! You will start the day with a breakfast paired with the infusions created by the winery that will awaken your senses. Enjoy a gastronomic experience with local products like cheese and smoked sausages, explore the properties and see up close the development of the numerous vineyards, the infusion fields and the wine cellars. These two wine estates have surely been pioneers in the production of Vinho Verde DOC wine!

Traveling from Melgaço to Monção will really give you the opportunity to take in the green unique landscape of the Vinho Verde region!

Beautiful day in the north of Portugal with my adult son. We visited Saohiero Winery in the morning. The grounds were beautiful and we were offered a delicious light breakfast as well as a tea tasting before the wine tour. The wiinery’s guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we received a a thorough tour of the grounds, the cellars and the bottling and packaging areas. The wines are fantastic and we were given several to taste with a complete education. The facility is newly remodeled and expanded from a family home. Everything is modern and state of the art. We enjoyed Guillerme’s company and leaned so much! A very enjoyable experience. The lunch was so-so in the village and we were seated beneath the TV in the back of the restaurant. I expected a bit more given the price point of the tour. The second winery was Santiago. We were given a tour of the old farm and tasted only two wines with little information other than the family history. Our tour guide was kind and pleasant and we had a great day— carried primarily by the outstanding experience at Saoheiro.

Jorge picked us up on a rainy day but we were soon our of the rain and having a great time in Ponte do Lima, experiencing the local market, tasting pastries and having coffee. From there we went for a wine tasting and then back for a beautiful lunch that included the local red wine drunk from a bowl. I am so sorry that I missed getting a photo of that. Then on we went to another winery to taste yet another beautiful wine from a small vineyard. Jorge is a wonderful guide who will go to any amount of trouble to give you what you expected from the tour. I would recommend that you request him because he is really amazing!

Having already experienced an excellent tour of the Douro Valley region earlier in our stay in Porto we wondered whether this tour could match it. We should not have been worried! The company kept us informed regarding the time we would be picked up from our hotel, and Jorge telephoned personally when he was unforeseeably detained. There were two other couples on our tour who were great company. Our first stop in Ponte de Lima included coffee and a selection of local cakes, followed by a chance to look around this beautiful town. Jorge explained local traditions associated with Ponte de Lima, and his family connections made it even more interesting. The two wine tasting stops showed the variety of flavours to be had from Portuguese Vinho Verde. The lunch included a selection of local produce, an enormous main course, and a selection of different desserts. We were quite late arriving at the final vineyard, but the owner was particularly charming, showing us her vines and allowing us to sample local bread and cheese as well as her wine and brandy. It was a very enjoyable, full day (almost 12 hours). Our thanks to Jorge and our Brazilian companions.

We knew we wanted to visit the Vinho Verde region while in Porto, and this tour was the perfect way to do just that! We were picked up right outside of our rental property by Jorge, and then had just 1 other guest on our tour so it was very personal. The visit to Ponte de Lima with local pastries and lunch in Mecago with local sausage, cheeses, and wine were awesome additions to a traditional "wine tour". The vineyards are very small and each experience felt genuine, not a rushed, pre-packaged tasting visit. If you enjoy Vinho Verde wines, I would highly recommend going on this tour! Jorge was an excellent guide, providing so much history and knowledge about every place visited. The best wine tour I've ever been on!
