Amit Bialer
Local Expert · Douro
I've been living, exploring and breathing Porto and the Douro Valley for almost a decade. Over the years, I've built close relationships with remarkable winemakers, winery owners and local producers, giving my guests access to experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.

Meet AmitTiago Ferreira
Wine Maker · Douro
Douro born and raised. I've been making wine since before I could legally drink it (don't tell my mother). My grandpa taught me to smell the soil before planting, and now I'll teach you why a Port wine tastes like a hug from your grandmother. Come hungry, leave happy, and slightly tipsy.

Meet TiagoKlaus Bauer
Sommelier · Alentejo
I moved from Munich to the Alentejo 7 years ago for 'just one harvest.' Spoiler alert: I never left. Turns out, the wine here is as warm as the people, and the cork trees are older than most countries. I'll show you why German precision meets Portuguese soul makes the perfect glass.

Meet KlausGiulia Rossi
Tour Guide · Vinho Verde
Ciao! I'm Giulia — part Italian, part Portuguese, fully obsessed with wine. I've been guiding tours since I realized talking about wine is almost as fun as drinking it. Vinho Verde is the closest thing to liquid summer, and I'll prove it to you. Bring sunglasses and an empty glass.

Meet GiuliaJake Morrison
Local Expert · Algarve
What's up! I'm Jake, an American who came to Portugal for a weekend and forgot to go home. Five years later, I know every hidden cellar in the Algarve and which old man makes the best Medronho. I'll take you places Google Maps doesn't know about. Trust me, it's worth it.
