It appears that the Vineyard that Cliff Richard has connections with now does tours. Has anyone been?

Taken from the website:

Experience an exclusive tour of the vineyards and winery at Quinta do Miradouro and enjoy a tasting of Sir Cliff Richard’s Vida Nova, which is vinified, matured and bottled on the estate.

Transport and Bookings
Transport is available from pick up points at hotels and local resorts (see map) and costs €20 from the Albufeira area, €25 from the Carvoeiro or Vilamoura areas and €30 from Portimão or Quinta do Lago /Vale de Lobo. Entry and tasting charges are included. If you wish to travel independently, there is a charge of €7.50 for the tour and wine tasting.

A group of us went last year..

Was very interesting to see how its all done etc,

we made our own way there as it worked out cheaper and we also decided to go to the algarve shopping centre which is very close to cliffs gaff

Thanks for that info Chris.Looking at that map it appears to be just behind Algarve Shopping. Does anyone know the taxi rate to Algarve Shopping?
