About Us
Hi there, my name is Jónatas.
For me, the Douro Valley is much more than a beautiful wine region. It's the people, centuries-old traditions, wine culture, and regional gastronomy that make this place truly special.
Through my years of experience as a local tour guide, I've come to know the region, its wineries, and many of its hidden gems.
With Local Experiences Portugal, I want to share this passion with my guests and introduce them to the authentic Douro Valley through personal experiences, carefully selected wineries, and a relaxed approach away from mass tourism.
