About this excursion
Discover Portugal’s northern Alvarinho country on a private full-day tour from Porto through Melgaço and Monção, two historic border towns shaped by wine, fortifications and Minho identity.
With a licensed driver-guide, travel in comfort to Melgaço, where castle walls, compact streets, local legends and the surrounding landscape introduce the frontier character of the region.
Choose an optional visit to Melgaço Castle and an optional Alvarinho experience at Soalheiro, one of the benchmark names for this grape variety.
After flexible lunch time in Monção, explore its fortified historic centre, riverside identity and connection to Galicia before choosing an optional afternoon tasting at Quinta da Torre, linked to Anselmo Mendes.
A private, elegant and highly regional wine journey for travelers who want heritage, border culture and the pure expression of Alvarinho.
