Exploring the Douro Valley is a must for any wine lover, but choosing the right way to experience its world-renowned wineries can make all the difference. While you can visit famous estates like Quinta do Bonfim, Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta do Seixo, Quinta do Tedo, Quinta da Pacheca, and Quinta de la Rosa on your own, these places tend to be commercial and crowded. A guided wine tour with me, Jorge Miguel Matias, offers you a unique and intimate journey into the hidden gems of the region.
Discover the Off-Grid Wineries
The Douro Valley is home to small, family-run wineries that are off the beaten path. These hidden estates offer authentic, exclusive experiences, where you can meet passionate winemakers, taste limited-production wines, and immerse yourself in the traditions that make Douro wines so special. My tours focus on these lesser-known but high-quality quintas, ensuring a personalized and enriching experience away from the tourist crowds.
Enjoy the Wine, Skip the Driving
One of the biggest advantages of joining a guided wine tour is that you can fully enjoy the incredible wines of the Douro Valley without worrying about driving. The region’s curvy, winding roads can be challenging, and drinking while driving poses serious risks. In Portugal, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/L, but if you are caught with more than 1.2 g/L, it is considered a crime that can result in up to one year in prison.
With me as your guide, you can relax, taste, and savor the wines without stress. My tours provide comfortable transportation, so you can enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and exceptional wines safely and responsibly.

Every traveler is different, and my private wine tours are designed to match your interests and preferences. Whether you are a wine enthusiast looking for in-depth knowledge, a group of friends wanting a fun day out, or a couple seeking a romantic escape, I will create the perfect itinerary for you.
