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.

Fantastic experience
Wow, fabulous Fabio was very knowledgeable and helpful …. The wine experience was great , arriving with not a lot of Portuguese wine knowledge, it has helped us understand local wine . The meal Fabio took us to in the mountains was tasty and so good to have someone dine with us that could explain the Portuguese dishes . Would recommend this to anyone that wants to taste local wine and good food .

Great wine tour
We had a fabulous afternoon and evening with Fabio. He was very knowledgeable and interesting. He took us to 2 fabulous wineries and then up into the mountains for dinner. He was great company and we would highly recommend booking a trip with Algarve Wine Tours. The tapas with the wine tasting was delicious and necessary.

Don’t miss this very fun activity!
What an excellent way to spend the morning and afternoon. The outfit is a family operation, meaning the tour guide has a personal stake in ensuring you have a good time. The vineyards on your tour are family farms that put great effort into producing excellent wines. The view from the terrace on the mountain top at lunch was stunning, and the food was absolutely superb. Don’t miss this very fun activity!
Response from the operator: Hi Andrea. Thank you so much for your great words. It was a pleasure to spend the day with your group. All the best

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portimao.
How much does Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time cost?
+
Prices start at $169 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Portimao usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Portimao is not rushed.
Is Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 108 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Portimao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time?
+
Around 38 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Portimao can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Portimao and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Algarve wine tour and mountain top trip with lunch or dinner at sunset time start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Portimao within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Portimao?
+
On Outty we rank every Portimao experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Benagil Cave Tour From Armação de Pêra, Exclusive Small Group Kayak Tour to Benagil Caves with 4K Photos, Kayak tour to Benagil Cave and guided by local native. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Portimao?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Portimao?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
