Just a few minutes drive inland is a quieter Portugal of Roman bridges, family estates and pressing bold reds across vineyards. The tour from Lagos to Quinta da T\u00f4r takes you from the coast to the countryside, and brings you to one of Southern Portugal&#8217;s most popular boutique wineries for a guided wine tasting tour of the Quinta da T\u00f4r landscaped gardens. This book will tell you where it&#8217;s located, what flavor you can enjoy, how much it costs and how to make a great day that you never remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

Tour?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A private day trip will drop you off at your hotel in Lagos, then take you through the rolling countryside of the Algarve headed to Quinta da T\u00f4r near Loul\u00e9 where you can sample their excellent products and do a visit of the estate. A standard program incorporates a 2-hour tasting, a walk through the vineyard and usually even a second tasting, like a visit to the village of Alte or a photo stop at the Miradouro de Silves viewing point en route to the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> The brief answer to the question is a private tour with a guided driver that explores the countryside between Lagos and Quinta da T\u00f4r (~70 kilometres) and concludes with a tasting of four wines produced by the Algarve in a family-run winery close to Loul\u00e9 where guests will enjoy bread and estate olive oil.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the Algarve&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/mQ5YXqH2KE1ADT2Zr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">private wine tour<\/a>&#8221; for US, Canadian, UK and Portuguese visitors looking for a serenely different experience of wine compared to over-crowded coach tours. Your journey is yours to control, you can travel with whomever you want, at your own speed and without worrying about hiring cars or parking in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Is_Quinta_da_Tor_Located\"><\/span>Where Is Quinta da T\u00f4r Located?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Quinta da T\u00f4r is located in the little village T\u00f4r, which is 6 kilometres north of Loul\u00e9 in the centre of the Algarve. An inland winery 6km north of Loul\u00e9, Quinta da T\u00f4r&#8217;s 47 hectares have been used for wine production since the 15th century. This place is insisted into the heart of history and a small testament is a Roman bridge that leads to the village and which can even be found on the estate&#8217;s wine labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distance_From_Lagos_to_Quinta_da_Tor\"><\/span>Distance From Lagos to Quinta da T\u00f4r<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Detail<\/th><th>Approximate figure<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Driving distance from Lagos<\/td><td>~70 km<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Drive time (direct, A22)<\/td><td>50\u201360 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time at the winery<\/td><td>2 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Typical full itinerary<\/td><td>7 to 8 hours<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_From_Lagos_to_Quinta_da_Tor\"><\/span>How to Get From Lagos to Quinta da T\u00f4r<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three choices in real life. Self-driving on the A22 motorway requires that the vehicle be accompanied by a driver who is designated for driving, which speeds up driving, but costs extra. It is possible to travel by public transport but very slow as it would be a train or bus to Loul\u00e9 and then a taxi ride for the remainder to T\u00f4r. All involved in the group will enjoy the wine with a <a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/tours\/\">private wine tour from Lagos with transfer<\/a> &#8211; no hassles. If door-to-door planning is required, check out the different tours and find out how door-to-door tours work with a dedicated driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Taste_at_Quinta_da_Tor\"><\/span>What You Taste at Quinta da T\u00f4r<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estate is renowned for its exceptional quality wines. The yeast has been cultivated by it&#8217;s 7 isciently new varieties to use in the production of sweet wines that have an alcohol content of 16-17 per cent. The pour is so intense, heavy and rich in Syrah that they call it one of the strongest in Portugal locally. Tastings are provided with traditional bread and olive oil made right here, and cheeses from the region can be added for a more satisfying pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The typical visit to a building has a definite outline. An experience of 2 hours in which they visit and get to know the Quinta Da T\u00f4r Winery for 30 minutes that is totally family owned, as well as get to know the wines for 1.5 hours. As you&#8217;re walking your guide teaches you about the wine making process, ranging from picking the grapes to the cellar and aging in stainless steel and oak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tasting menus to know before you book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Classic Tasting<\/strong> \u2014 four classic wines with bread and estate olive oil, an ideal entry point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brave Tasting<\/strong> \u2014 three classic wines plus one of the bold high-alcohol reds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oak(y) Tasting<\/strong> \u2014 an intermediate flight finishing with an oak-barrel reserve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Golden Tasting<\/strong> \u2014 a progression ending in an award-winning oak-aged wine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a temperature of 64\u00b0F, guests can enjoy a swim in the estate&#8217;s infinity pool overlooking vines \u2013 which is a very good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quinta_da_Tor_Guided_Tour_Times_and_Opening_Hours\"><\/span>Quinta da T\u00f4r Guided Tour Times and Opening Hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guided tours in English are held on a regular schedule every day, so reservations are important, particularly in high season. The Guided Tours (daily WITH EACHER) take place daily at 11hr and 14h30 (IN ENGLISH) and at 16hr (IN PORTUGUETE \u2013 SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS). Booking beforehand guarantees you a place, and provides your driver with the time needed to plan the Lagos to Quinta da T\u00f4r tour around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Algarve_Wine_Region_Explained\"><\/span>The Algarve Wine Region Explained<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is finally getting its much-deserved respect as a wine region and the Algarve is located in the southernmost part of mainland Portugal. The region&#8217;s reputation is for its beaches and busy tourist industry; however, it does make a good amount of wine annually. It&#8217;s a true alternative for travellers to the hectic seaside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Algarve_DOC_Wine_Appellations\"><\/span>Algarve DOC Wine Appellations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The area is divided into four AOCs (Protected Areas). The four wine Appellations of origin found in Algarve are: Lagos, Portim\u00e3o, Lagoa and Tavira. In addition to these, there is a flexible regional (Vinho Regional) classification, providing room for experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indigenous_Algarve_Grape_Varieties\"><\/span>Indigenous Algarve Grape Varieties<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Algarve moniker is Negra Mole, a local red, with little to be found elsewhere, and along with a wide range of local varieties such as Castel\u00e3o, S\u00edria, Arinto and now more often Alvarinho, Syrah. The Algarve is sheltered from the hot and dry north winds by the mountain system, has more than 3,000 hours of sunshine every year and is amongst the areas with the most potential to grow in Portugal. This is due to that sunshine and those limestone soils, as well as a Mediterranean climate with Atlantic breezes that keep the wines cool. <a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/blog\/private-algarve-wine-tours\/\">T<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/blog\/private-algarve-wine-tours\/\">o compare coastal wine estates with inland wine estates<\/a> this is a helpful introduction to the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Algarve_Countryside_vs_Coast_Which_Day_Trip\"><\/span>Algarve Countryside vs Coast: Which Day Trip?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coastal tours are filled with stunning sea cliffs and seaside towns. The rural landscape provides a rarer legacy: working farms, private villages and a more variable tempo. While the beaches were a focus of what Quinta da Tor has to offer, the real essence of a rural, Portuguese experience lies in the organic farming, traditional wine making and eons-old farming practices. To the couples and families seeking depth over the crowds the inland route is the winner. The answer for many who can&#8217;t seem to make up their mind is to add <a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/blog\/algarve-sunset-cruise-lagos\/\">a wine day and a private sunset tour from Lagos<\/a> to the mix, to get it all in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_See_Near_Quinta_da_Tor\"><\/span>Things to See Near Quinta da T\u00f4r<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many great opportunities for detours while spending a full day in Lagos. There are numerous travellers that use the winery in combination with the tour from Lagos to Quinta da T\u00f4r and Alte, with the inclusion of the village&#8217;s famous springs and small waterfall. The following additional attractions are worthy of visiting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Miradouro de Silves<\/strong> \u2014 a viewpoint over the <strong>Arade River<\/strong>, orange groves, and the <strong>Moorish castle<\/strong> of Silves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alte village<\/strong> \u2014 whitewashed streets, natural springs, and rustic regional cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Loul\u00e9<\/strong> \u2014 its Arab-influenced covered market and historic centre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your guide can vary the groups as the strength of a private trip is determine to shape the day around what you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quinta_da_Tor_Tour_Price_and_Cost\"><\/span>Quinta da T\u00f4r Tour Price and Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn&#8217;t expensive to come in to the winery. Classic Tasting Charding of 4 wines together with homemade bread and estate olive oil (\u20ac13.50). What costs more is private transfer and guiding for a day, making the day hassle free. For comparison, third party private day trips from Lagos which incorporate Quinta da T\u00f4r can be around \u20ac115 per person, but it&#8217;s a good rule of thumb to book a private deal on a fixed-per-vehicle rate for couples and groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <strong>book your Quinta da T\u00f4r wine tour<\/strong> with a transparent per-car price and door-to-door service, you can request a quote through the <a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/booking\">secure booking page<\/a> or message the team directly on <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/351920137793?text=Hello!%20I%20would%20like%20to%20know%20more%20about%20your%20services.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WhatsApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Choose_a_Private_Guided_Wine_Tour_From_Lagos\"><\/span>Why Choose a Private Guided Wine Tour From Lagos?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>private guided wine tour, Algarve, English speaking<\/strong> removes every common headache: no parking in narrow village lanes, no worrying who stays sober, no rigid coach timetable.
