My wife and I were led on an all day tour of the Douro Valley by Sandra of Douro Exclusive (the Immersive Gold Experience) and it was a fantastic day. Sandra is charming and we learned so much from her about the wines of the Douro Valley (not just port). In addition to tastings at two great wineries, we had a wonderful lunch at DOC (with wine pairings), as well as a fun boat ride on the Douro River.…

My wife and I did a small group tour of the Douro Valley with Sandra. She was great, friendly and informative. Her knowledge of Douro Valley wine and the wine production process was impressive. We went to two wineries in the Douro Valley and the presentations were perfect. We also had a delicious lunch at the restaurant run by her company. We spent three weeks traveling across Portugal and our day in the Douro Valley with Sandra was clearly one of the highlights.…

Sondra was our guide. She loved her job and it really showed. We went to one winery and then boat ride, lunch at the owners boutique hotel which was incredible. Went to another winery and then back to Porto! Book early as this one will always be sold out!

Ana and Sandra from Douro Exclusive put together an absolutely wonderful day for our group of 14 people. They picked us up from our hotel in Porto and then put together a fabulous day which included visiting two wineries in the Douro region, a fabulous lunch at DOC restaurant, a lovely ride along the river, plus a few additional little surprises for us. Ana and Sandra are both wonderful guides and incorporated some history of the region during the tour. The personal touches they added really make this tour special. I can't recommend this tour highly enough.…

After extensive research on potential wine tours of the Douro Valley, my wife and I chose the Back to the Douro Roots wine tour with Douro Exclusive, and we are so happy that we did. The company is top notch, and Sandra was our incredible guide. She has an extensive knowledge of the Douro Valley, and she picked some very good wineries to visit. We really appreciated that in addition to drinking some incredible port and wine, we also learned a ton of interesting facts about the unique approach of the region. One other useful note: Instead of doing a long day to-and-from Porto, you can stay in their hotel near Pinhao, and have a much more relaxed and enjoyable day!…
