Fabio was an amazing host and had a fabulous knowledge of the local wine industry. He picked us up in his very comfortable car and was a very safe driver. We visited 2 wineries , visited the vines and production areas and had tastings of the local products. Fabio took us to a wonderful restaurant in the mountains where we enjoyed great food and local wine. We later travelled further up the mountain for fabulous views over the valley. A great day enjoyed by Maree Colin and Rebecca from Australia.

Our guide, Fabio, was extremely knowledgeable. He made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. This is a great tour for both the wine expert and the wine novice.

Fabulous day! We received personalized tour and learned much about the Algarve region, the wines and the cuisine. Fábio was wonderful and a great host. Highly recommend this wine/food tour.

Andy P

<p>An enjoyable day including visit to two vineyards / wineries followed by lunch above Monchique. Not quite up to Tuscan wine tour we experienced a few years ago. Perhaps could have covered more aspects of wine growing, wine tasting etc to further our education. Good to share experiences with others on the tour.</p>

<p>Simply a fabulous time!<br/> We booked this tour, 8 girlfriends spending a week in the Algarve, and this tour was a perfect addition.<br/> Fabio is amazing, very informative and friendly, a true local. Definitely made us feel special and welcomed. <br/> Highly recommend. Thank you Fabio!</p>

<p>This was a great way to end our honeymoon.</p> <p>We loved visiting both the winery and the distillery. It was a great day and Fabio was an excellent guide.</p>

<p>Fabio was an excellent tour guide with a deep knowledge and a very personable character. The tour itself was entertaining and informative throughout and we were shown places and met people you could not do if you tried to organise this yourself. Both the winery visit and the distillery were well worth the time and very enjoyable. The gastronomic end of the tour proved a lovely hearty lunch with a generous spirit - nothing was skimped on. I would more than highly recommend this tour, it was the highlight or our holiday.</p>

<p>Great tour! We were a group of 10 people and everyone enjoyed the entire tour. Fabio was very informative and friendly. The visit to the brandy making farm was unique, something that you will not find anywhere else. The wine tour provided a great variety of wine to taste accompanied with some local meats and cheeses. The lunch at Luar da Foia was fantastic, we sampled some local cuisine and wine all with a fantastic view of the Algarve. Great job Fabio, abrigado!! Hope to see you again soon.</p>
