wine tour in douro valley that does NOT focus on port wine?

Hi!

We'll be in Porto for a few days in June and I would like to do a wine country tour that focuses on locally grown reds and whites and is not so focused on port wine. All the ones I have seen seem to focus on port, which I am not excited about.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an operator that might fit the bill?

Thanks so much!

This was nine years ago, but Cool Tours Oporto visited two wineries that did regular wine before ending up at a port winery. I know the wineries In Pinhão have regular white and red and do tastings of both. You could potentially take the train then do your own winery visits. But, I realize that might be a bit ambitious if you are visiting for the first time.

You could also email the tour companies that look promising to ask if they do tastings other than Port.

If you mean to Douro Valley, reach out to Daniel at Terra a'Alma tours. He can pick you up at the train station and return you there as well. He offers private tours, nice vehicle, very good English, very knowledgeable, and a really nice guy. He can curate whatever you want. Daniel Ferreira: [email protected]
