Carlos explained the winemaking process in a way that was easy to understand and kept us engaged the entire time. You can tell he truly loves what he does.

Taste 10 Portuguese specialties on a small-group Lagos food tour with local taverns, drinks, market visits, and city stories.
“We're a retired couple and had such a great time with Sofia in Lagos. She's warm, funny, and clearly loved by everyone — the restaurant owners and market vendors greeted her like an old friend. The food and drink pairings were excellent, with local wines and beers perfectly matched to pork, beef, and seafood dishes. Everything felt authentic and personal, and Sofia's knowledge and connections made it extra special. A relaxed, delicious way to experience Lagos — highly recommended!”

“This has to be one of the best tours going. A small factory a and tour run by a mother and two daughters. it was very informative with personal touches and knowledge. They had a true sense of caring about their interest in olives and the people that had come to share in the tour. The taste testing was fabulous... it was more of a meal than just a testing. highly recommended.”
