Hi, my name is Afonso and I'll be your host! I was born at the West of Portugal, at a beach close to Peniche and raised between this region and the north of Portugal at a small village called Chaves. I moved then to Porto to take my degree in Tourism. During the following years I have worked in big events production and 14 years ago I moved to Gstaad - a fancy Ski Resort at the Suisse Alps. During the winter I still escort my guests through the amazing landscape of The Alps doing one of my passions - snowboarding. Due to my connection to different regions of Portugal, during the last years I've started being more interested in Gastronomy and Wines and particularly by the Douro Region, so in 2018 and after taking the level 1 of the course WSET - Wine and Spirits Education Trust I've launched the Douro Call Experience - a non-touristic tour through the outstanding landscapes of the Douro region, plenty of wine and local food! I have depth knowledge of my country, a warm personality and a great sense of humour and I'm also passionate for photography, surfing and travelling. I love welcoming guests at my country and be able to share stories and experiences, while enjoying an amazing landscape and world class wine! Join me in one of my authentic experiences, passed in privileged and unique places! See you soon! Licensed Tour Company by Turismo de Portugal board under license N.º 422/2020 Level 1 and 2 of WSET - Wine and Spirits Education Trust Degree in Tourism with over 15 years' experience at the hospitality industry Hosting Food and wine experiences since 2018 Wines of Portugal Certificate School of Port Wine Certificate I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments

Overview of your Porto tour

The Douro Call is a full immersion on what the Douro Valley and the North have the best - amazing landscapes, great wines and delicious food. I'm passionate about this region and for me the Douro Valley is the best place to welcome guests and it's where I'm able to share my wine knowledge and experiences while you share yours. Our day begins at a hidden, family-run winery, known mostly to locals. Here, you’ll meet the people behind the wine, walk through the cellar, and learn about traditional winemaking methods before enjoying a private tasting. After lunch we will explore the other side of the valley - Pinhão. The day will end at a smaller family-run winery we will do a second wine tasting while enjoying my favorite viewpoint which is considered one of the best 6 views in the world by BBC Travel.
