Quinta Do Frances Winery

Located north Portimão, already on Silves county. It's an exclusive wine farm production, the one located most north in the region ,right on the beginning of the Monchique Mountains. Owned by a portuguese-french couple that met at Bordeaux, where he was born and grew up surroundend by the influence of wine. They moved in the region at the beginning of the century to start this project from zero. In the slopes of Odelouca River Vlley, they planted their vineyard and built their small but well equiped winery, that also hosts a tasting room, barrels room and laboratory.

Admission Included

Villa Alvor

Located on the north border area of Portimão and Alvor. With the big mountain of Monchique, that dominates the view when we are at the vineyards, this large property has also growing areas of cork trees, wheat fields and orange trees. In the family since 1865 and producers of grapes from a long time, this farm built their modern winery in 1999 and were the first producing certified designation of origin wines in the Algarve. In the esplanade, at the shop or at the oak barrels is visible the tradition of this family estate.

A fabulous way to see the beautiful hillsides of Alentejo, while learning about the local history, wineries, and their farming practices. We learned so much about the growing process, the types of grapes, and the opportunity to see the production process. Fabio is a treasure trove of the local stories and made for a wonderful day. This tour allowed us to interact with the local people, enjoy delicious food, and offer a special experience.

We had a wonderful experience, it was one of our favorite parts of our trip to Portugal! Fabio, our tour guide, picked us up and returned us to our condo after the tour, and he was incredible He was very friendly and knowledgeable, not only about the wine but the area we were visiting. We loved the fact that it was just the 4 of us in our group with him. The wines at each winery were very enjoyable, the lunch spot was incredible and the food fantastic. Thank you for the wonderful day!

A great excusrsion, I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Algarve. A visit to a small producer and then a visit to a larger commercial vineyard. Then a beautiful lunch in Silves. Fabio is an excellent guide, he has great knowledge of the area and the viticulture in the region.

A great day of wine and wineries followed up by a hearty meal in the mountain town of Monchique. Fabulous wines and food. Fabio was a great host and went into alot of detail about grape growing, harvesting and wine production in the region. Highly recommended!

The experience was incredible. Fabio delivered such a special experience, I would definitely recommend it to family and friends. The tour was incredibly delivered, we had such a private and ultra exclusive experience. Instead of years of building relationships and networking, Fabio takes all of the ground work out the equation and you're able to enjoy all the fruits of his labor. 10 out of 10, would go again. I've even recommended this to family and friends.

Excellent tour . Our guide Fabio was well versed in the processes of wine making . it was a small tour and he was very personable We had a wonderful day and a lovely local lunch .

Our wine tour day with Fabio was excellent. It was time well spent to see the area, learn about the terroir, local varietals and influences on the wine in this region. Among numerous wine tours we have had in different countries, this was one of the best for Fabio’s level of knowledge (and ability to share it) when it comes to the wine making process and local industry. Fabio was very pleasant, service-oriented and considerate of the groups needs. He answered all questions and shared more than a surface level of information, which we really appreciated.

Jan_F

Fabio was really passionate and engaging about the wine. His depth of knowledge made the trip really interesting and enjoyable. Happy to book with him again when we return.

Fabio is most knowledgeable and paces the day so well. Eight of us spent the best day with him. It was very enjoyable. We came off the cruise ship, he was right on time and off we went. The restaurant served so many traditional Portuguese meals, it was hard to choose. The views were breathtaking. You will not go wrong booking with Fabio. The personal attention is the best.

BillyBob047

The most informative wine tour we have been on. Fabio is an excellent tour guide that takes you to 2 different wineries and explains the whole winemaking process. The sample wines were great and the lunch in Silves with an incredible view of the castle was amazing. Highly recommend this tour.
