A wonderful, personal experience to discover not only more about the Vinho Verde area but Portugal in general. Our guide, Silvia was very willing to share her knowledge and answer our many questions. Even if she didn’t have the answer, Silvia researched it and advised us later. Nothing was too much trouble. Loved seeing historical towns and tasting the wines at a pace that suited us. Certainly left us wanting to spend more time in the area.
