Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Douro Valley on an exclusive small-group experience that perfectly combines wine tastings, a traditional lunch, and a relaxing river cruise.
Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your accommodation by a knowledgeable local guide. As you journey towards the Douro region, prepare to be amazed by the stunning landscapes unfolding around you. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights, local stories, and highlights of this remarkable wine region. We’ll stop at one of the most scenic viewpoints, giving you time to capture unforgettable photos and videos.
Our first stop is a prestigious local winery, where you’ll enjoy a guided visit and learn about the winemaking process. This will be followed by a tasting of three carefully selected wines. You’ll then savour a delicious lunch at the winery, featuring traditional Portuguese dishes paired with refined Douro DOC wines.
After lunch, unwind on a 45-minutes cruise along the tranquil waters of the Douro River. Sit back, relax, and admire the panoramic views of vineyards and rolling hills as the river gently carries you through the heart of the valley.
The experience continues with a visit to a second winery, where you’ll enjoy another guided tasting of three wines made from the region’s distinctive grape varieties. Once again, expert guides will explain the production methods and the history that made the Douro Valley world-famous for its wines.
This carefully curated experience is the ideal way to explore Portugal’s oldest and most iconic wine region, demarcated in 1756 and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Immerse yourself in local culture, flavours, and traditions for a truly authentic day.
