For The Love Of Port

This will be Mario and my 10th year of doing Port Harvest Tours together; coincidentally my 20th year of visiting No. Portugal and specifically, the Douro region and Porto/Gaia. My first visit in 1994 seems like a long time ago. This will be my 24th time going over that span, although the vast majority have been since 2003. I don't count visits like in May when after Madeira, I popped up to Porto for four days. Anyway, I can't wait to get back upriver. For the first time ever, we have six couples and there will actually be 7 women coming along this year ... a record, as typically it has been mostly men. Looking forward to try more 2011 Douro red wines and Ports too!

It's going to be a very exciting tour. I can't wait!!

This will be Vic's and my 2nd consecutive Port Harvest Tour and I can't wait to share the amazing experiences with everyone again. I could imagine doing the Port Harvest tour every year for the rest of my life. It is that amazing.
