Oporto & Douro Moments — A Five-Star Experience
From the moment we first contacted Sara and João at Oporto & Douro Moments, we knew we were in expert hands. Having expressed our passion for understanding the history, geography, and driving forces behind a place and its people, we received nothing short of meticulous attention to every aspect of our planned tours.
Douro Valley Wine Tour with João
The Douro Valley—which we already believed to be one of the world’s most beautiful wine regions—came alive under João’s guidance. Over a full day in a comfortable, private vehicle, we visited three exceptional vineyards, two of which are family-owned estates. At each, we enjoyed extended conversations with the proprietors themselves, delving into the art and science of wine production, modern challenges in viticulture, and the evolving business of wine. The highlight was a sublime, multi-course lunch—the best meal of our Portuguese adventure—paired with splendid wines and the warm hospitality of everyone we met.
