Best Food & Wine Tour Ever
This was the best food and wine tour we've ever done, and that says A LOT! We travel all over the world and do food tours everywhere we go and Catarina tops them all. Within 10 minutes of meeting Catarina, we felt like we had met an old friend and she just has the best vibe about her. She's clearly very passionate about food, wine and all things Portugal! And she knows her stuff. Being a wine professional myself, I'm quite critical on these sorts of tours, but Catarina didn't disappoint us once. Her pairings were clearly well thought out, carefully curated and were absolutely spot on. She took us to some great places that I think most tourists would just walk past and not give a second glance. Catarina has put so much time and effort into her tour, and it shows. She has thought of all the details. Absolutely book this tour you won't regret it. Under no circumstances should you eat ANYTHING before this tour, because you will be stuffed to the brim by the end!!!

Not to miss!
Catarina was a wonderful hostess, taking us to tastings of excellent and generously served wines, deliciously paired with Portuguese cuisine. It was like tasting wines not only in a high-quality establishment, but also in the company of a local friend.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words, John. It truly means a lot to know that the experience felt both special and personal. I am delighted that you enjoyed the wines, the pairings, and the overall atmosphere. It was a real pleasure to host you, and I hope to welcome you again in the future.

Highly recommend
We had a great day on this Port and wine tour with Catarina. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, from the historic Port cellar in Gaia to the beautiful Douro Tasting. The food pairing were delicious and made each tasting shine in a different way.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière cost?
+
Prices start at $133 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Porto is not rushed.
Is Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière?
+
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 Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière?
+
Around 1 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 Porto 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 Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Port and Douro Wine Private Tasting and Pairing with a Sommelière 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 Porto 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 Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. 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 Porto?
+
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 Porto?
+
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.
