This small-group or private bus tour lasts about three and a half to four hours and visits two local vineyards and their wineries near Portimao. A wine expert guides the group throughout the tour, explaining the entire winemaking process from growing grapes to bottling. The tour begins at a large family-owned estate on the border of Portimao and Alvor, where vineyards sit alongside cork trees, wheat fields, and orange groves. This estate, with a winery built in 1999, was the first in the Algarve region to produce certified designation of origin wines. Visitors spend about an hour and a half here, touring the vineyards, winery, oak barrel storage, and tasting area. The second stop is Quinta Do Frances Winery, located further north in Silves county at the start of the Monchique Mountains. This smaller winery was founded by a Portuguese-French couple who planted vineyards on the slopes of the Odelouca River Valley. The site includes a tasting room, barrels storage, and a laboratory. The visit here lasts about one hour. At each vineyard, participants taste three classic wines, totaling six tastings during the tour. The guide provides information on the characteristics of each wine and how to taste them properly. Tapas and upgraded wine tastings are not included but can be requested for an additional fee. The tour accommodates up to eight people in shared groups, with private tours available for groups of six or more or for smaller groups at an extra cost. Participants must be at least 18 years old and book with a minimum of two people.
