WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Douro River
Most of the tour has the Douro river as the scenic scenary through the day. The wineries that are visited offer incredible views to the river.
2. Peso Da Regua
Whenever possible we stop at the city of Peso da Régua, an historical city of the Douro Valley associated with the commerce of wine. Here we provide our guests a brief explanation about the city and allow some free time for a coffee and pictures.
3. Quinta do Tedo
Quinta do Tedo is one of several wineries that we can visit on our tour. In this visit you will learn about the wine-making process of Quinta do Tedo with a local guide. It includes a guided wine tasting session where you will be explained about the different wines to be tasted. NOTE: wineries or order of wineries visited may differ depending on their availability NOTE 2:Visits at the wineries and river cruises are not fully private and open to external participants.
4. The Douro Valley
In the heart of the Douro Valley you will have the chance to visit Pinhão. In the past Pinhão used to be an important place for commerce and transport of the wine from Douro to Porto. The wine was first commercialized and next shipped in the traditional Rabelo boat to remain aging in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river in Porto. In the village of Pinhão we stop for a 1h river cruise as well as we have lunch at a traditional local restaurant. NOTE: Visits at the wineries and river cruises are not fully private and open to external participants.
5.
Quinta do Beijo is the second winery of several wineries that we can visit on our tour. This is a small local winery with very good wines that can not be bought in the city. The visit is usually done by the owner of the property himself while he tells you more about the production and the flavors of its wines. NOTE: wineries or order of wineries visited may differ depending on their availability NOTE 2:Visits at the wineries and river cruises are not fully private and open to external participants.

This was a great trip for a solo traveler or for several. Our tour guide stopped at various picture spots as well as provided us time to roam in a few places, but keeping us on schedule. He was quite knowledgeable. The river cruise is only an hour - which is plenty. Lunch is great if you want to experience Portuguese food. And the balance of different wines was nice. I prefer the wine vs port - so, it was good to have a variety. Tours were good and different experiences than previous. Still learned alot.

This was an awesome tour. Our guide Jorge was very knowledgeable on all details about Portugal history, the places we visited and the wines of the Duoro valley. It was a long and spectacular day with quaint villages through twisty narrow roads while viewing spectacular vineyards. The boat ride was fun and scenic. The stops and food were excellent and Jorge was very detailed to ensure our happiness.

It was a small tour of 8 people and nice to meet everyone from different parts of the world. The van was comfy and Jorge had a headset so we could all hear him. It was relaxing and the scenery extraordinary. Would love to spend moree time in Porto and the Duoro valley!!

Excellent day trip from Porto. Our guide Ivo was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, funny and well organized. The drive through the Douro Valley was spectacular and the river cruise was filled with amazing scenery. We enjoyed both the port and wine tasting stops and the lunch in Pinheo was delicious. It was a great day and good value for the money.

We had a great time on this tour. The tours of the Quinta’s were so informative and interesting, and taking in the scenery on the boat ride was amazing. Lunch was really delicious! I was nervous since it said it was in an old converted school, so I was expecting cafeteria food. It was actually a served multi-course meal with wine, and it was delicious! Our tour guide, Tuna, was funny and taught us a lot about the region on a couple of extra mini stops. Would recommend!
