Delightful day with Gustavo

We spent our first day in Portugal with Gustavo. He arrived to our hotel on time, and took us in his clean comfortable car to theDuoro Valley. We learned a lot of Portuguese history and Port along the way. We stopped for a delicious lunch with amazing wine followed by another winery to try number of Ports. It was super enjoyable. Highly recommend!
