Highlights
Cruise a unique river in the heart of the world’s first designated wine region and UNESCO World Heritage Site. We depart from Pinhão, passing under the iconic iron bridge designed by Gustavo Eiffel, following river up to the Tua area and then returning to the starting point. Along the way, admire the vineyards that descend to the river, in a preserved landscape, without national roads or road traffic. Although the return is the same, the opposite perspective reveals new angles and frames. The traditional rabello boats have open and covered areas, ensuring comfort at any time of year. To enrich the experience, use our free app “Magnífico Douro – Paseos de Barco”, with geolocalized comments on the farms, the wine and the river. Bring earphones for greater convenience.

About Pinhão
Pinhão is a small river village in Portugal's Douro Valley, at the heart of the terraced port-wine vineyards, with a railway station covered in blue tiles.
Pinhão sits on the north bank of the Douro river in northern Portugal, where the steep valley sides are cut into terraces of vines. This is the heart of the Alto Douro Wine Region, where port is made, first marked out as a wine area in the eighteenth century and now listed by UNESCO. The railway station is covered with panels of blue-and-white azulejo tiles showing the grape harvest and local scenes, and trains of the Douro line run along the river.
