Amazing tour and tasting
Amazing wine tour and tasting. If you're in Porto, you do not want to miss this family's wine house. Especially as they have an excellent selection of dry wines (so not port, although of course they also make port). Everything is still operated locally, by the family. You get to see the wine making spaces, the cellars, the history of the Almeida family and of course you get te try their amazing wines. These wines are the best way to get to know the Douro wines, great blends with traditional local grapes. Furthermore the friendliness of Tiago was something that made the experience even better. He even invited us to come watch the botteling process, which was taking place the day after we visited. Please, also don't forget to try the almonds, olives and olive oil, and enjoy!

Thanks again to Tiago and the family, see you again hopefully.
Try the amazing Douro non-port wines, almonds, olives and olive oil. And don't forget to enjoy the view!
