The Algarve · ALGARVE WINE TASTING & VINEYARDS
18 reviewed
The Algarve quietly makes serious wine now, in quintas tucked behind the coast around Silves and Loule. These are the best tastings and vineyard tours: cellar visits with the winemaker, off-road safaris that end in a long lunch, tours that pair the glass with a village and a castle, with prices, how many pours you get, and whether transport is included.
