My name is Ricardo Manuel and I was born and raised in Porto City. Although tourism changed Porto for the best (in my opinion) for the last 5 years, me and my family had to move out from Porto, into the bush, housing and living costs became very high and we made the choice that we should move out to the countryside. In this last year 2020 and even in 2021 with a pandemic, work just fell down drastically and we had to adapt. Making Port Wine, Muscat Wine and sometimes olive oil in a amatuer way since 2014, this hobbie become my family income. With vineyards and olives fields almost abandoned from the pandemic I rolled up my sleeves and went to work, asking neighbours and friends if I could keep their grapes and olives for harvest time, their answers were immediately YES Dividing my life between Porto and Douro Valley, me and my family feel completely safe, happy and relaxed with this new way of living. Come and see my amazing town Porto and Douro Valley Wine Region from the eyes of a local !!! Hope to see you soon. Cheers !!!

Overview of your Porto tour

Welcome to where the Port Wine is born and made! From the soil to the vine, the shale terraces to the solar exposition, grafting the vines to grape variety, "lagar" to the barrel, from the bottles to the table, from the taste in your tongue to your brain and to your soul. In Douro Valley you will visit amazing wine villages frozen in time where the port wine culture is dominant in the streets, in the houses, in the landscape and on the people, they will teach you the difference from a Tawny to a Ruby, dry White port to a sweet White port, Late Bottle Vintaged to a Vintage and also the famous Single Harvest port wines, do you think you can handle it !!! You will confer with a Douro Valley Wine Expert to share his knowledge with you through a glass of port wine, from this moment on, you will see wine from a different point of view!!!
