In reply to Alexander Kroll. Hi Alexander, We do hope to have an opportunity to return to Portugal as we've heard great things about the south and its beautiful coastline. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you very much for this great article and the very impressive panorama, Audrey!
Portugal is a very fascinating country – not only the north, very green part, but also the center and the very beautiful south with it’s fantastic coastline!
I do hope that you’ll write a little more about this lovely country, it’s extraordinary history and culture and the always friendly Portuguese people.

Looks fantastic. I need to go to Portugal to drink wine, I’m from Spain, sooo close. I have an Oporto at my house, I think I’ll have a little after dinner today 🙂

@David: We keep hearing wonderful things about Lisbon – we will definitely visit on our next trip and will let you know! As for the panorama trick, it’s a few steps: 1) take 4 photos at 90 degree angle + 1 photo above with an 8mm lens
2) Stitch them together with AutoPano Giga software
3) Create the “tour” you see above with PanoTour Pro

There are other ways to make them, but this is what we do. Good luck!

@Erick: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this and hope you liked viewing the other panoramas. It was a great visit to this winery.

@John: We were port tasting before noon, so that 20 degrees of alcohol certainly hit us! Porto would be a great place to live – would love to return ourselves.

@Addison: Traveling pushes one to go outside one’s comfort zone all the time, including trying new food and drink.

@DJ: Ooh, that’s a difficult decision there. The Sandeman port tawnies were great, as was the Reserve port from Quina de Pacheca.

@Victoria: Yes, this was a gorgeous area! Our group made it even more fun – hope our paths cross again soon.
