Just Right - This was a nicely timed trip. Enough time to enjoy the castle, pleasant walk down to the town. Nice tour of the winery and pleasant place to sit, try wines and enjoy the sunshine and tapas. Guide gave a good explanation of the area.

Brilliant experience - Very informative and relaxing trip. Great to have a chance to check out Silves and castle before trying some lovely wine. Our tour guide Rui was so friendly and clearly very knowledgeable about the area and the wine.

Silves and Quinto do Frances winery - This is the 2nd. time we did this trip and again it did not disappoint! This time we explored the village and some of the shops. Ceramica al - tannur was my absolute favourite! Loved meeting the owners/artists! The winery was lovely with some wonderful wines but the best part was António our guide and the people we shared the trip with (2 from England and 4 fellow Canadians 3 of whom live in Ireland and England) Great laughs and great memories to take home with us. Obrigado António, hope to see you again sometime!

Lovely afternoon - We had a lovely afternoon with António. Met some wonderful people from Australia and the U.S. Silves was a charming town and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the Moorish Castle but we especially loved our visit to the Quinta Do Frances winery. Our group celebrated an anniversary, a birthday and my being 30 years cancer free! Highly recommend this tour.

Interesting, fun to discover especially inland - Due to bad weather we did this wine tour. It is a beautiful piece of discovering the interior of Portugal and a very nice experience. Much seen of an environment full of orange trees, storks and the beautiful but old (really overdue, but beautiful) town of Silves. The wine tour on the wine estate was mainly a tour and wine tasting, not so much a tour through the vines oid. But still highly recommended to discover the interior, or as an alternative in bad weather. Wines are delicious, especially the blush wine!

Great little tour out of Lagos - Silves is cute town. For the low entrance fee it is worth going inside the castle/fort for a quick look around. It was informative to see inside a small-scale boutique winery and the setting for the tastings was beautiful. A microphone for the driver would make it easier for the people in the back of the van to hear all the commentary while driving.
