Me and my daughter were picked up at the hotel to join our guide Felipe and 4 other people. He obviously felt very passoinate about the Douro region and wine making because he could talk about it for hours.In a simply stunning environment we got to taste 2 table whines and 4 port wines,, together with some bread and olive oil. After that, we drove to a magnificient panoramic view over the valley and got plenty of time to take some unforgettable pictures. For lunch we went to a first class B&B that also producued their own whine. The 5-course meal was simplly exquisite, also accompanied by local wines and some whine tasting afterwards. Then we drove to the river where the boat was waiting for us. Again, stunning views all over the place and, although for me somewhat over the top, again some port wine tasting and a llittle snack. The whole experience was simply magnificent and our friendly driver drove us safely home back to to hotel (no drinking for him...) It was like the best family trip ever! More
