Vineyards and Victories Tour

Battles and bottles...Fighting Napoleon was thirsty work.  The Iberian Peninsula of Spain and Portugal saw bitter combat 200 years ago.  Now you can follow wine expert Al Spoler and Certified Battlefield Guide Graeme Cooper as they re-trace the steps of Wellington's army, wine glass in hand.  Portugal and Spain have become Europe's hottest travel destinations, home to romantic landscapes, superb food, exciting wines and centuries of history.  The Vineyards and Victories Tour combines the best aspects of culinary exploration and historical immersion.  The tour is first-class all the way, with 4-Star accommodations at every stop and delicious gourmet dinners and wine tasting every night, including:

  • Visits to Lisbon, Oporto, Ciuddad Rodrigo, Salamanca and Segovia
  • Tours of the Ferreira Port Lodge, Quinta Do Crasto Winery, Martinsancho Winery in Rueda and Pago de los Cappellanes in Ribero Del Duero
  • Entry to museums, a boat ride on the Douro River, and expert guided tours of celebrated battlefields like Bussaco, Oporto, Salamanca and Fuentes de Oñoro
  • Luxury coach ground transportation throughout the Tour

The Vineyards and Victories Tour is brought to you by Cooper's Waterloo Tours, a UK based company specializing in historical tours.  Graeme Cooper is a veteran tour leader and founder of the Guild of Battlefield Guides.  He is one of Europe's leading historical guides.
