I have not been to Portugal but its def on the list. I'd love to hit up some Port houses and do the Duoro valley


That's the plan!

Dont sleep on the vineyards north of Madrid if you are into wine. Ribero Del Duero.


This one's a great possibility. Also have a tasting tour booked outside of Barcelona at Pares Balta, and just happened to find one of their wines last week at Fauborg Wines in New Orleans. Weird, because the owner says she never gets that one.

Spend a few nights in the Douro valley if you can. A day trip doesn’t do it justice.

Quinta do Vallado and Quinta da Gricha were some of my personal favorites to stay at.
Booked a tour guide through LAB Tours that brought us to a few places including Quinta do Panascal and Quinta de Ventozelo.



For Porto recs: We did port tastings at Ferreira and Churchill’s. Wouldn’t book more than 2 of these as they are all more or less the same thing.
Ate at Terreiro and Adela Sao Nicolau.
Also ate at Gazela and got the cachorrinhos (it’s touristy, but really good, especially with a beer).

Eat as many pasteis de nata and drink as much ginjinha as you can.
