Highlights

Discover the Douro Valley in a complete one-day experience, in a small group, with a maximum of 8 participants per vehicle. Travel from Porto with a local Guide and discover the landscapes, wines, and traditions of this UNESCO World Heritage region. Visit two selected boutique wineries, managed by small family producers, for an authentic experience of the Douro wine tradition. Discover small-scale productions and taste DOC wines, Port wines, olive oil, and honey, getting to know the people and stories behind the products. Enjoy a regional lunch with Douro wines and complete the day with a panoramic cruise of approximately 1 hour on the Douro River, from Pinhão, with stops at selected viewpoints. With only 8 participants per vehicle and visits to small family producers, this experience favors a personal and relaxed environment, with more time to interact with the Guide and discover the true identity of the Douro Valley.

About Porto

Porto tumbles down steep hills to the Douro River, a granite city of tiled churches, riverside cellars and port wine aged across the water.

The Ribeira district lines the riverbank with colourful houses, cafés and boats, part of a UNESCO-listed old centre beneath the iron arches of the Dom Luís I Bridge. Above it, the São Bento station hall is covered in blue-and-white azulejo tiles, the Clérigos Tower rises above the rooftops, and the Sé cathedral stands on its hill.

Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
