FTLOP’s 2012 PORT HARVEST TOUR will represent our 8th consecutive year of designing bespoke Port excursions for those who are seeking an intensive and fun experience revolving around Port and the Douro. From learning the history to tasting nearly every category of Port, we have loads of fun just planning the itineraries for these extraordinary annual trips; including wood-aged Colheitas spanning many decades, (even centuries on some tours) to unparalleled horizontal and vertical tastings of Vintage Ports. We also explore Douro wines typically paired with the finest cuisine in Porto and the Douro. Our guests stay in first class, (5 star accommodations) which provide great comfort after long days-into-night of sheer hedonistic pleasure. Have you ever tread on just picked grapes in a lagar? It’s amazing fun and there’s nothing like feeling grapes squishing between your toes and beneath your feet. You will never forget the first time!

These are all-inclusive tours and once you’ve disembarked from your flight you won’t touch your wallet again unless buying wine or gifts. We ensure every detail of your experience, maintain small group sizes, and provide our guests with singular opportunities to meet the winemakers, owners and/or managing directors of every Port house we visit. Whether you’re joining us for the first time to learn about Port and Douro wines, or are seriously involved in collecting or consuming these remarkable wines, we can promise that you will exponentially expand your knowledge and tasting horizons. We’ve had over a dozen guests re-join us for at least three tours. Nobody does it better!

  • Renowned Port expert Roy Hersh and Mario Ferreira personally guiding your entire trip
  • 7 night’s accommodations at an impeccably chosen 5* hotel in Porto, top 4* hotel in the Douro
