Tastes of Porto

On your way to the restful Douro, spend time with us on one of our Porto tours. Portugal’s amazingly beautiful second city is often cited as Europe’s hippest wine and food destination.

Our Porto tours, curated by James Mayor, are a private immersive dip into the culture, wine and gastronomy of this enthralling city. Like our Douro tours, our Porto tours are safe, personal and fun.

"James Mayor of Grape Discoveries has done all the heavy lifting, assembling a tour that delivers a relaxing, and intimate, view of Porto."
