Started with a stop to see how the corks are made, Silves town and a tour of the winery, where we learnt about the process of making the wine then finished with 4 wines to taste. The winery was stunning and had a great view during the tasting. Filipe even gave us a restaurant recommendation in Guia as he informed us it’s where Peri Peri chicken was created - which didn’t disappoint! Me & my friends had a great day and would recommend this trip when in Portugal :)”
