11 days · 10 nights · Lisbon, Sintra, Bussaco, Porto, Douro, Évora
Our flagship journey, and the one Vinotours was built around: Lisbon and the Romantic gardens of Sintra, a night in the Bussaco Palace, the port lodges of Gaia, a few days on the terraces of the Douro, and the megalithic south at Évora.

9 days · 8 nights · Logroño, Haro, San Sebastián
Tempranillo from the chalk-clay of Rioja Alta, cellars dug in the 19th century beneath Haro's Barrio de la Estación, then north to the Cantabrian coast for pintxos and a Michelin table above La Concha.
Tour detail10 days · 9 nights · Seville, Jerez, Córdoba, Granada
The solera system explained where it was invented, the Mezquita at opening hour, the Alhambra by private evening entry, and flamenco in a room of forty rather than four hundred.

Run in previous years, kept here with their full day-by-day itineraries.
8 days · 7 nights · Alba, La Morra, Barbaresco
Nebbiolo at harvest, truffle season in Alba, and the eleven communes of Barolo walked rather than driven — with growers who still farm the crus their grandfathers planted.
Tour detail10 days · 9 nights · Florence, Montalcino, Bolgheri
Brunello on the slopes below Montalcino, the Super Tuscans of Bolgheri along their cypress avenue, and Florence with an art historian who works on the Uffizi collection.
Tour detailTravel your own way
Not every trip wants a group. We plan and book two other kinds of journey — one you drive yourself, and one built entirely around your own party.
We plan the route, book the hotels, reserve the cellar visits and the tables, and hand you a day-by-day dossier with directions, contacts and background reading. You drive, you set the pace, and there is a phone number in Portugal that answers when something needs fixing.
The full escorted experience, built for your group alone — a family, a wine club, a college alumni circle, or six friends who would rather not travel with strangers. Richard leads or appoints the guide, and every day is written around what you actually want to see.
