Our escort was great and it was nice to see a few things outside of Lisbon, but the wineries themselves were a disappointment. The tour guides at the wineries were not all that knowledgeable and we only tasted 2 wines, the same ones at each winery. I would have preferred a more personal, professional wine and tasting. The tastings were minimal cost, but not included as indicated.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and was also lots of fun to spend time with. We had a blast! The wineries were so different from each other, both were just fascinating. The stop at Palmyra castle was great, and the lunch at the local bakery was superb. We also bought some of the local cheese, which was absolutely delicious. It was a most memorable and wonderful day.
