★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $29

At family-owned Quinta de Santa Cristina near Braga, a local guide leads you through the vineyards and winery before a tasting of three wines with regional snacks. Children get three juices and cookies, and there is a vegan food option. You meet at the winery, not in Porto, and arrange your own transport.

“I can not recommend this tour high enough. Sofia was an extremely personable and knowledgeable guide as we walked along the vineyard and learned about the process of wine making. The vineyard was beautiful and the facilities were spotlessly clean. The highlight was the tasting room, which took our breath away with the spectacular view and the craftsmanship showcased in its construction. The outstanding scenery was only equaled by the wonderful wine and its food pairings. Sofia even had prepared a juice tasting for our 10 year old son. We had a perfect visit and highly recommend the excursion!”
