Itinéraire

1. The Vadio project, located in the Bairrada region, was founded in two thousand and five by Luís Patrão with the mission of restoring the authenticity and aging potential of the region. Guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention, the boutique winery focuses on traditional grape varieties like Baga and Bical, which beautifully express the local limestone soils through sustainable viticulture practices. Our Exclusive Vadio Tour offers a complete immersion into this philosophy. You will begin with a guided walk through the old vineyards in Poutena to understand the unique terroir and organic farming methods. This is followed by a private visit to the artisanal cellar, where the classic vinification and oak aging processes are revealed. The experience concludes with a premium tasting of four signature wines, including the Vadio White, Red, and their iconic Sparkling wine, paired perfectly with local delicacies. It is an intimate journey into the classic elegance of Bairrada.

About Porto

Porto dévale ses collines jusqu'au Douro : ville de granit, d'églises d'azulejos, de caves au bord de l'eau et de porto vieillissant en face.

Le quartier de la Ribeira borde la rive de maisons colorées, de cafés et de bateaux, au sein d'un centre ancien classé à l'UNESCO, sous les arches de fer du pont Dom Luís Ier. Au-dessus, le hall de la gare de São Bento est couvert d'azulejos bleus et blancs, la tour des Clérigos s'élève au-dessus des toits, et la cathédrale, la Sé, se dresse sur sa colline.

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).
