Best places: Wineries in Lousada, Portugal

👍👍 If you want to support local, family-owned, small and independent business (rather than the big, foreign-owned ones), make sure to visit this Porto maker. Because of their size, they do not compete with the big brands on the first line of the river boulvar - but, man, it's so worth to step into a na...

👍👍 We did a tour/tasting with chocolates very tasty, very reasonable and very interesting and informative. The tour was a little slow to begin with but just got better and better the guide was very good. Seeing the coopers at work and learning about the barrels was very interesting.. The port and choco...

👍👍 Amazing tasting experience. The visit was short but felt super confidential away from the super crowded one. Bruno our guide was the best. There is the tasting and the experience around it. The Porto we tasted were different from the one I knew and really enjoyable. The experience around it was some...

😠 We went for a wine tasting but the girl behind the bar, who was very nice, informed us that we couldn’t do one without a guide and all the guides were out. There were 3 people working at the bar, and it wasn’t even busy, but none of them could pour us wine for a tasting. I’ve been to many vineyards...

👍👍 Amazing views, great service, delicious food and wine. We spent a day with kids and had a wonderful time. The place is very family friendly, beautifully designed, and has a great laid back atmosphere. Food and wine we tasted were excellent! Joao was very helpful with our visit but everyone we came i...

👍👍 We did several wine tastings in the region and this one was our favourite. It's a family owned business. The tour/wine tasting was supposed to be quite quick but Maria (wife of one of the owners) took the time to explain and answer our questions. She was amazing and we ended spending two hours there...

👍👍 My family and I had the best experience in the Casa Lata. Wonderful service, delicious breakfast a very cozy place, clean, a wonderful view and the people who work in the house are very hospitable, Margarida the owner makes a point of making us feel very good. Thank you for everything Margarida, mui...

👍👍 Small family winery. Not as crowded as the big brands' houses on the riverside. We had a very nice tour, our guide told us everything about wine making and answered our questions. He was a real expert of port and other wines as well. Nice place, I can only recommend.

Circa-1890 working port cellar open to the public for tastings by appointment only.

Elegant hotel on a wine estate offering river views & wine tasting, plus a restaurant.

👍👍 This wine tour couldn’t have started off much worse. When heading east towards the spectacular Quinta do Seixo, we missed the entrance and let Google Maps take us on a backcountry adventure through the super steep terraced vineyards surrounding this Quinta. My wife was terrified but we persisted and...

👍👍 This was one of the two wineries that my tour or took me to visit. the staff was very informative, she was detailed in describing and explaining how the wine was selected created, delivered, fermented and stored. and of course we get your see storage room and the Machinery that were used to grind a...

😐 It’s not a museum where you learn and wander to discover: it’s an extravagant accumulation of artifacts, from minerals to fossils to traditional African arts to an edifying exhibit about Gandhi. You are rushed through tunnels and rooms stuffed with all these things with little context and no time to...

😐 One of the local producers of Porto wine with a 3 generation history. They have several tours that vary in price depending the number of wines you taste at the end of the tour. The whole thing lasts 1 hour and the talk is around 30 minutes (a very very general talk). I rate them with 3 starts becaus...

Family-owned vineyard with estate tours, a wine cellar & tasting on a terrace overlooking the Douro.

👍👍 We had a nice tour experienced today, the museum and wine cellar tour was interesting. Our tour guide was the guy with eyeglasses (I forgot his name) he did explain clearly the necessary information regarding Ramos Pinto, he gave us enough time to look around, and to ask questions even though he’s a...

👍👍 Commercial winery producing about 21 million bottles of wine a year from 5 different regions in Portugal. The grounds are amazing, and the gardens are breathtaking. The wine prices range depending on the region and quality starting at about 3 euros a bottle. Be sure to book your reservation in advan...

👍 A small but beautiful vineyard at the top of the Valley. Quinta do Jalloto was our first wine tasting experience and it was a great visit. The Quinta is reached by traveling by train to Pinhão station and then walking uphill. The walk is not easy, especially during summer as there are lot less shade...

👍👍 Num edifício moderno com vistas para o vale do rio Varosa. Uma visita guiada deu-nos a conhecer todo o processo de produção, passando pela adega, a zona de engarrafamento, as caves de estágio e até à linha de embalamento. Um dos maiores tesouros da Murganheira, a par da matéria-prima, está escondido...

👍👍 So we had the wild idea, we wanted to visit a local winery. From thought to action is just one step, so we called around 9 o'clock and asked about the daily tours. The office was not sure that a tour was taking off in the morning, so they said they would talk to the guide to see if anything was in t...
