Lunch is not included. 5 from 118 reviews at €295 per person for 8h 30m. In our comparison: #6 of 40 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview This is our tour specially dedicated to wine and all aspects of its making. Recommended mainly to only true wine lovers. You will sample a vast array of completely different wines from producers with very different backgrounds, experiences and approaches to wine making. Simple, elegant and fruit forward,Traditional, bold and prestigious. Out of the box, creative wines made by non-conformists. You will taste all of the above and by the end of the day you will have the knowledge to pick your wines from Douro and understand its labels and styles, wherever you go. Lunch will surpass your best expectations and you will taste local cuisine paired with yet more lush wines.
