Two very different vineyards which was great because you could compare the wines and the different wine making techniques. Vanessa at Paxá Wines was fantastic and treated us to a mystery wine at the end of the tour, picking the wine that she thought each of us would most likely (she was 100% correct). I will definitely visit again if I am lucky enough to return to the Algarve 😊”
