As the name of the country implies, Portugal is know for what else but port.

Travelers and wine enthusiasts Roy Hersh and Mario R. Ferreira tell us all about port and Portugal and what sounds like a wonderful tour they put together in this article from the Wine Lovers' Page, "For the Love of Port."

They tell us all about the trip and of course the port they drank. Here's a snippet, but if you've ever thought of touring Portugal, definitely worth a read of this detailed article:

Earlier in the year, Mario R. Ferreira and I had talked about a collaboration to bring small groups of wine enthusiasts to Portugal to discover the Port region. After lots of planning, in October we led our first tour group to experience Port. As much as I enjoy visiting Oporto and Vila Nova de gaia, I couldn't wait for the opportunity to introduce this savvy group of Port lovers to the awe-inspiring Upper Douro River Valley. Being able to share in their overwhelming excitement was as purely joyful as watching my young daughter's delight from jumping in a puddle. It was indescribably satisfying, and the fact that our guests had never been to Portugal before made it even more exciting for all of us.
