The 15th-century building is gorgeous, with all its grounds and visible vineyards. The collection of vintage tiles (Azeitao) throughout the house are beautiful, all very different in motifs and colorations. It is a true treasure. The most interesting part of the tour was also visiting the Bacalhoa vineyard's winery, which holds an enormous amount of aging barrels of Mescal, several ancient olive trees from 300 BC, and the owner's private art exhibition of three leading German turn of the 19th-century artists: Kahn, Hersch, and Lowen. The guided tour was well done, as was the three-wine tasting afterward. When we returned to Lisbon, the driver took us to see the huge (100 meter high) Cristo Rei statue overlooking the new bridge, Tejo River, and bay.

We were beguiled by the monk's incantations, then rocked out when they pivoted to popular music. We enjoyed the function hall, the staff was amazing, they brought the food out quickly, no one ever had an empty glass, and the venue, overall, was an A+. The only criticism one might have is the outside does not match the inside. Outside of the venue looked industrial, purposeful, and not polished. But, who cares! Look at my pictures of how Adega Regional de Colares is on the inside, because, as we all know, it's what's inside that counts.

We only spent about ten minutes at Adega Regional de Colares but it was worth stopping. This is a…read morebig warehouse where wine casks of various sizes are stored to age wine. Historically, this was the aging building of a single winery. Now, different vineyards rent space for their casks to age. As the picture shows, it is quite picturesque. We were told they have a banquet room which is used for weddings and other large parties. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the room but were told it was beautiful. In fact, our guide had wanted to have his wedding banquet there recently, but his budget didn't quite allow it. They also do tastings but we didn't partake this time around. They also have a nice selection of wines for sale that were aged there.

Jorge is extremely knowledgeable about the history and the treasures that make Portugal such an incredible destination. We started by booking 2 days, but ended up spending 4 perfect days in Jorge's care. He planned each of our days with such care and artistry. Jorge showed us highlights of Lisbon, booked us a magical sunset sail, brought us to Sintra, Evora and Lagos. He made us reservations in incredible restaurants, where we were always given the best tables due to his relationships with the owners. He also booked us a private wine tasting/tour and brought us to the medieval city of Monsanto. Every experience he planned for us was amazing! Jorge anticipates everything you need. He took care of all our bookings and tickets. No detail was left to chance. His sense of humor and charm made every excursion special. Spending time in Jorge's care was a wonderful experience for our family of 6. He was incredibly kind and patient with us, even though we were often late and had a medical issue that sidelined us for an afternoon. In addition to being an amazing tour guide, Jorge is a wonderful travel companion. He made our experience one that we will always cherish. We are very thankful to have been in his hands for our vacation. I wholeheartedly recommend booking time with Jorge for your visit to Portugal.

I could try to tell you the tale of Baron Bodo von Buremmer, his second chance at life, his…read moreretirement plan, and the 3000 roses he planted for his late wife, but I wouldn't do it justice. The wine cellar, like the vineyard soil, is unusually impacted by the salty Atlantic air; you'll notice how it has caused unique changes in what once was a solid grey paint on the ceiling and walls. We toured the grounds with Otto the chocolate Labrador, tasted seven fabulous wines, and left the vineyard with bottles of our own. I hope to have more shipped to the States, ASAP! Casal Sta.

My walking tour around the city culminated with a tasting back at the lovely wine shop, and not only was Francisco extremely knowledgeable about the authentic and off the beaten path places to visit in Lisbon, but he was also an outstanding historical guide, spoke great English, and kept me laughing all day. I'd read so many positive reviews about his food and wine trail tours that I had high expectations, which he completely exceeded - it was an incredible value. Venha Vinho's tour availability can be limited due to their great reviews, so request space early and make sure to ask for Francisco!
