Visit Portugal with Experi
Situated on the edge of Europe, Portugal has long been overshadowed by its neighbor Spain as a holiday destination. But given its rich culture, natural beauty, and relative affordability, it was only a matter of time before the country emerged as a travel hot spot. Sure enough, interest in Portugal is on the rise. In 2023, Portugal was the fourth most Googled travel destination. With its improved infrastructure and accessibility, coupled with a growing interest in authentic, culturally rich experiences, Portugal has jumped onto traveler bucket lists, and its popularity is only expected to increase.
Part of Portugal's allure is its variety, offering a range of experiences tailored to different interests. Those seeking coastal landscapes and seaside resorts are drawn to the beaches of the Algarve. History buffs are enchanted by the country’s ancient cities, fairy tale palaces, and Age of Discovery explorer tales. For food and wine enthusiasts, the delicious cuisine found throughout Portugal and the renowned wine regions of the Douro Valley, Vinho Verde, and Alentejo offer an array of flavors, styles, and traditions to discover.
At Experi, we focus on specialty wine & food travel to the world’s best destinations, and we're delighted to have two itineraries showcasing the culture and flavors of Portugal. For small groups, which could include friends, a couple, or a family, we offer our signature "Private Departures" to Porto & the Vinho Verde wine region of Northern Portugal and Porto & the Douro Valley. These itineraries explore the Old World charm of the riverfront city of Porto, the spectacular terraced vineyards and local quintas (wine estates) of the Douro Valley, and the up-and-coming Vinho Verde region. You choose your travel companions, a date that works for you, and the itinerary, and we work with you to take care of the logistics and details for an unforgettable journey.
