A must do trip

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would 100% recommend. Pedro was fantastic- so knowledgeable and funny. Nothing was a problem and he went out of his way to talk to and involve all of us on the trip to make sure we had a good time. The journey there and back flew by. The wineries were great, much better to support local people than visit the corporate places. lunch was delicious and they easily adapted to food allergies. The river trip was very relaxing and a great way to see the valley and wineries. We tried the best ports and wines, olive oil and even homegrown almonds. If you have the time you won’t be disappointed.
A perfect day!!
