Stunning tour both from a history standpoint as a tour of downtown Porto. All the places we visited were amazing and we finished in "The Lab" which is a place that shows how much everyone involved loves to go deeper in the work they do. An amazing experience, can't recommend it enough. Thank you Catavino.

Best tour company for Portugal! Attention to every detail. And wonderful people. Love them! ❤️

Looking to enjoy a great excursion through some of the world's most beautiful vineyards? Our group's tour off the beaten path with Catavino was a carefree day of discovery in fine company, and with memorable food and wine. A big plus was an opportunity to spend time with a winemaker happy to share his family story, expertise and excellent wine. I cannot think of a better way to experience the authentic Douro!

Catavino was excellent to work with. They helped us plan exactly the trip we wanted. We visited Porto and Lisbon, including a stop in Coimbra on the drive from Porto to Lisbon. Each tour and each guide and driver were perfect. The guides and drivers all spoke English well. They were charming, informative and each had a sense of humor. Using the services of Catavino made our trip to Portugal much more meaningful, informative and fun.

Catavino is Ryan Opaz. But Ryan Opaz is not all of Catavino. There is a team behind the scenes. He is a Renaissance man with a great knowledge of food, wine and culture. We enjoyed three days with Ryan as he guided us through the Douro Valley and the ancient town of Porto. Although Ryan has a huge database of facts in his brain, he is also a treasure house of stories. You will discover the “real” Douro and Porto, not the tourist version. Ryan is always greeted like an old friend everywhere you go because he has a vast network of relationships. You will not get a stock tour: you will get an experience tailored to your interests and tastes.Ryan will take you to places you cannot enter as a tourist on your own. The guides in the Quintas and Port Houses learn from Ryan, not the other way around.American? Yes. Portuguese? Yes. Ryan lives in both cultures but is completely a “native” son of Portugal.Recommended for the wine enthusiast and professional, and for small groups. You must get to know Catavino.

We just completed a Fall Harvest tour that was organized and led by Catavino Tours. The entire experience was wonderful and met all of our expectations. The tour included several days in and near Lisbon, and then five days in Porto and the wineries and vineyards along the Douro River. All aspects of the tour were planned to provide an exceptional experience for our group of eleven friends. Our tour guide, Ryan Opaz, was extremely knowledgeable about the wines, the Quintas, the history of Port and Portuguese table wine and the country of Portugal. Finally, the food was amazing and included several dinners and lunches with wine makers who were personally know by Ryan. The tour and experience could not have been better!
