Who it is for

Choose this if keeping the boat private matters as much as choosing the estate for your tasting. Allow 8 hours for the trip from Porto. Lunch at a quinta is included, though you should look elsewhere if a named viewpoint is essential to your day.

For Galafura with lunch, Portooneprivatediscovery costs from €175 per adult in a group of 6. The optional boat is shared. For Casal de Loivos, Endless Weekend costs from €81 per person in a group of 7, with tastings and lunch extra.

Means: Take the sole 9:30 option if you want both road travel and the boat reserved for your group, with quinta lunch included.

Not for

• Travellers seeking the lowest starting price
• Anyone choosing mainly for a named viewpoint
• Visitors who do not want an 8 hour day

In harvest: arrange your preferred estate with the tour team ahead of September or October visits; grape picking is outside the programme.
