About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Kaitlin S0 contributionsA great taste of the Algarve winesWe had a fantastic experience with Fábio! We met him in Portimao and it was a quick ride to the first winery. We have done many wine tours in the past and Fabio did a great job explaining the harvest process and background on Portuguese wines. We did the premium wine at both wineries and tapas at the first winery consisting of meat, cheeses and crackers. The second winery was another short drive at the base of the mountain with very different wines. You get to experience a wide variety of wines all very different. Then we headed up the mountain for a beautiful view but unfortunately was hazy but still beautiful. Dinner at the mountain restaurant was fantastic and felt very local with different cuisine from the seaside towns on the Algarve. My husband is gluten free and Fabio was able to help figure out what on the menu we could have. The portions were huge! Dinner included an app for both of us, wine, some meat and cheese and full entree. I think we could have had dessert as well but we were too full! Overall was a great afternoon and very much enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend Fabio and Algarve Wine Tours!Written September 1, 2024
- breamy20 contributionsExcellent TourFabio was easy to deal with, very friendly and knowledgeable. We were picked up on time from our hotel in Portimao. Everything was better than described, wine tastings were very good and the meal at the Luar Da Fora Restaurant was excellent. We did not feel rushed at all and arrived back later than planned to our hotel. All in all an excellent tourWritten August 20, 2024
- amandalH8685XG0 contributionsIf you do nothing else while visiting the Algarves, do THIS TRIP!I cannot say enough good things about this tour. Fabio is fantastic, and very knowledgable about wine. He looks us to two lovely vineyards. My husband and I decided to do the premium tastings (after you book, Fabio will reach out to you to see if you want this option). We really love good wine, so the upgrade was worth it to us. I highly recommend this option if you're into better wines. We also opted for the tapas. Truth be told, I would recommend you only do the tapas upgrade at your first vineyard. It's a lot of food, and you will be fed a huge meal after the vineyards. And speaking of the meal, we did the dinner trip. I am so glad we did this. We went to Luar da Fora, which is a gorgeous restaurant in the mountains. There you get to choose an appetizer, dinner and dessert, plus all you can drink beer and wine. The food is delicious, the portions are generous and everything is wonderful. I had the grilled prawns and my husband had the black pork, which they are famous for. This was the best thing we did while in the Algarves. Thank you, Fabio! We do a wine tour of almost every wine producing region that we visit, and your tour was absolutely the best tour we have ever done!Written August 16, 2024
- X7208FCcatherinew0 contributionsDream DayI went on this tour with a group of friends. We had the best day ever. Fabio was so informative about the wine making process. Loved going to a female owned and operated winery. And lunch beneath the 2,000 year old tree was a dream!Written June 2, 2024
- Karen P0 contributionsExcellent choice!If you want a local experience with personable and attentive guide, Fábio is the way to go! Nice visit to a yummy restaurant and highest point in Algarve. Excellent wineries!!Written May 30, 2024
- Jacqueline D0 contributionsA must in AlgarveExcellent tour! Fabio is very knowledgeable and engaging. The family owned wineries are fantastic minus any pretentiousness. Lunch atop the mountain was spectacularWritten May 21, 2024
- geraldinem6710 contributionsGreat experienceFabio was a wonderful host. Everything was so well organised, from hotel pick up, 3 winery visits with lunch. My first time to get a good understanding of viticulture and wine tasting. Another couple joined us and we had a very enjoyable day. Great way to spend a day in Portimoa.Written April 30, 2024
- GrandTour606276408090 contributionsFabio is fantastic!Fabio was absolutely amazing. He catered the experience to our bachelorette party. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We loved spending the day with him especially the dinner at the end. He also went out of his way to meet up and return a phone one of the girls left in the car. I highly highly highly recommend this experience and our tour guide!!!Written April 10, 2024
- jenniferjC7120EU0 contributionsthe most spectacular cultural and food experience!Fabio is a true gem and expert on all things wine! Our bachelorette group of 10 enjoyed ourselves immensely and had a fantastic time learning about the 2 wineries and enjoying the wine along the way. The meal at the end was SO delicious and Fabio made us all feel very welcomed and safe. Would highly recommend for a group of any size - you wont regret it!Written April 10, 2024
- 258garryr0 contributionsA great day outFabio was a great guide and really new all about the wine production from vine to bottle. The vineyards we visited were charming and you can purchase some of your favourite choices after the tastings. The restaurant Fabio took us to at the end of the day was lovely family run place with stunning views. A great experience.Written April 2, 2024
- charlottelN5922TC0 contributionsA day to remember in Algarve's wineyardsThis magical experience is perfect for having fun and acquiring new knowledge about wine. The different vineyards visited were very beautiful. The visit is exclusively made up of small vineyards with a charming and authentic character. We also loved the concept of the Farmer's Table. The lunch was friendly and tasteful, and the atmosphere was full of life. Throughout our day, our guide Fábio was caring and very interesting! We recommend to every Algarve's traveler who enjoy wine and good company.Written March 10, 2024
- chelleylovinglife0 contributionsBest wine tour in Portugal!Me and group of 7 others did a wine tour with Fábio in Portugal, it was fantastic! They came and collected us from where we were staying in the Algarve and took us to a beautiful winery. We had a tour around the place and got to sit and try lots of different wines and hear tasting notes on each one. The location was really quite beautiful! If you're in the area you have to book and go with Fábio he is incredibly passionate about the wines and will teach you a lot! Will definitely come back again next time we are in the area, thank you :)Written March 7, 2024
- Flyer2791830 contributionsBeautiful Day in AlentejoA fabulous way to see the beautiful hillsides of Alentejo, while learning about the local history, wineries, and their farming practices. We learned so much about the growing process, the types of grapes, and the opportunity to see the production process. Fabio is a treasure trove of the local stories and made for a wonderful day. This tour allowed us to interact with the local people, enjoy delicious food, and offer a special experience.Written February 15, 2024
- riley0d0 contributionsExcellent vineyard tour, tasting and lunchThe day started with Fabio picking us up at our house in Farragudo. He then took us to a couple of great local vineyards. His knowledge of grape growing and the wine making process with all its complexities was outstanding. He thoroughly answered all our questions. The views from Monchique and Foia were beautiful and the lunch and views at Luar were amazing. We were also happy to learn about cork trees and the process of harvesting the bark. A great day that exceeded our expectations. Thanks, Fabio!Written February 1, 2024
- Cruiser558481011780 contributionsWine tour with Fabio, fantastic locations, wines and an amazing hostFabio's wine tour was fantastic, the highlight from our time in Algarve. He is very knowledgeable, and the vineyards were lovely with amazing wines and history. Lunch up the mountain was a great experience; we had local cuisine and beautiful views, and this was otherwise somewhere we wouldn't have travelled to. Getting picked up and dropped off was very convenient, and overall it was a fabulous day that is highly recommendedWritten January 14, 2024

Amazing experience not to be missed. Fabio collected us from our hotel in Portimao. As part of the tour we opted to have a premium package and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing wine, beautiful scenery and unforgettable experience. We already have recommended it to a couple of friends who will be visiting next month.

Me and my partner were surprised by such an intimate, informative and tasty wine tour experience. The additional tapas at both wineries were a perfect addition to the 6 wines we were able to taste. Fabio was a fantastic and friendly guide. 10/10. Definitely recommend to anyone in the Algarve.

Had a fabulous afternoon on this wine tour. Our guide Fábio was excellent- very knowledgeable about the vineyards and the wine we were drinking. We chose to upgrade to the premium wine selection and were not disappointed. The Tapas offered at each venue was nice and went well with the wines. Would recommend the trip to wine lovers.

Fabio was a perfect guide. He is so knowledgeable about the Portuguese wine industry. We learned so much about growing grapes and making wine and Tourism in the Portimoa area. Each winery offered a different view of the industry. The wines he chose were considerably better than we had expected from this part of Portugal. It was a great excursion from pickup to drop off.

We have been on a few wine tours over the years but Fabio is the first person who has actually worked amongst the vines and was able to give us insider knowledge of how the vines are tended across the seasons. Fabio also introduced everyone to each other to break the ice and make for a very companionable tour. Enjoyed both of the wineries and the selected wines. No questions to Fabio were too stupid and we would highly recommend this trip.

Extremly nice, knowledgeable guide, great wines, scenery, and with all Covid 19 security measures in place. Algarve is not only sun and beach. It also has great wines and lovely people.

Great tour by Fabio, providing a comprehensive overview of wine production in general as well as the regional varieties available to sample at the two estates we visited. We were also able to see the grape sorting and production methods up close. Fabio was informative and engaging and it was the perfect end to our holiday in Alvor.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
