| Description |
Portugal is a wine lover’s paradise, especially if you love red wines. And it’s probably the least visited European wine region which means you may be the first person on your block to go there. |
On the western edge of the continent, Portugal is home to culturally rich cities influenced by its leading role in the Age of Discovery, as well as an abiding Catholic faith that it shares with nearby Spain. Our specialists will draw on their knowledge of the country to plan your tour of Portugal, where you could hear melancholy fado music in Lisbon, taste port wine in Porto and the Douro Valley, and sample the traditional custard tarts of Belém. |
