Thanks Natalie for your feedback on our article and the inspiration it gave you to seek out wines from Portugal. It’s true the red wines are more readily available, but you can also find white Portuguese wines as well. In Florida, check out Total Wines and ask specifically for Vinho Verde. Casal Garcia is a famous brand in the U.S. but there are others. The staff at Total Wines are incredibly helpful and they will guide you to some amazing Portuguese white wines. Do let us know what you think when you find them. Cheers.

Portuguese wines continue to get better every year and are winning international awards as well. I think you’d love the wines from the Douro Valley. They are magnificent. And yes, avoid the Summer heat 🙂 Cheers, Jennifer.

If Portugal has been calling you for a while, it’s time to heed that call 🙂 Yes, the food and wine will not disappoint by any means. When you do eventually go, make sure to plan for plenty of time in northern Portugal. Cheers, Debra.

If a Porto stay is on your list, then a don’t miss exploring the amazing Douro Valley wines. Your husband will love them. When are you planning on traveling to Portugal?

You do have to watch the car rental people and it seems like their “upsell” tactics can be found pretty much everywhere. It is truly very beautiful driving off the highway in the Douro Valley and for 5 euros a day for a car, you can’t beat that. Hope you make it to the Douro Valley soon. Cheers.

You are right, Noel. Even though northern Portugal does not feature much for road trips, it is the perfect destination to explore the old historical cities and enjoy incredible Douro Valley wines. Thanks for stopping by.
