Highlights

In addition to being a private tour, not sharing transport with other people.... touridenorthportugal always try to avoid the more commercial places / wineries, or those with too much movement, looking for the most picturesque and familiar ones to somehow get closer to the genuine Portuguese culture. You won't just have a tour guide but a friend to introduce you to a region that we are proud of. The meal that we will present to you is of very good quality with wines that need no introduction and we always try to satisfy the needs of our visitors.

  • Air-conditioned vehicle

What's not

Itinerary

  1. Once you book it will be private If you mostly enjoy Regular wines from Douro region (dry), that is, in a more private way the tour for you, but of course you'll be having also Port wines. Visiting Rome without seeing the Pope doesn't make sense! Let's avoid to get up to early and skip the rush hour collecting you at 8:30 AM in your accommodation located in Porto or surroundings We will have a journey of approximately 1:30h ahead to the Douro valley. But I always like to stop in the charming little town of Amarante which is 45 minutes away and give you some regional products. Here is the time it will take to get from one place to another

    2 h

  2. Tast of a very refreshing green wine (white and red) with cheese and ham from the regionin a typical tavern in Amarante Here is the time it will take to get from one place to another

    2 h

  3. After 40 minutes of driving past Amarante, time to visit a family winery where we will visit the cellar with the presentation of Douro wines (white and red) and Porto wines. A variety of typical Portuguese dishes with options for vegetarians or other restrictions will be provided. Restrictions must be communicated at the time of booking.

    2 h

  4. After lunch, the trip will be 20 minutes with amazing views to the heart of the Douro Valley (Pinhão) In advance, the tour guide asks if you intend to take a trip on the typical Rabelo boats or visit a second winery for more wines. Here is the time it will take to get from one place to another

    1 h

  5. Time to return to Porto between 15:30 and 16:00 to avoid rush hour so that you don't waste time in traffic and enjoy the end of the afternoon in Porto. The return trip is around 1:30 minutes. Here is the time it will take to get from one place to another

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).
