THE JOURNEY
We start our day in Porto, heading to Douro Valley in a very comfortable Mercedes Van driving through spectacular roads. We want to let you immerse in breathtaking views in a Unesco World Heritage Site. It's time for a stop in a hidden viewpoint where you will have a great opportunity to take wonderful pictures.
THE WINE AND SOMETHING MORE
We will visit a stunning old winery where you will discover more about viticulture, winemaking and wine aging. You will learn about technical specifications of Douro Wines and their Terroir. Tasting their wines is embracing the whole region by feeling its aromas, flavours and complexity.
NOT JUST WINE
Before lunch, nothing fits better than 1 hour private cruise enjoying the breathtaking views with tasty snacks and drink.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
We will drive you to another exclusive family-owned winery where we will enjoy a delicious home cooked Portuguese lunch pairing with their wines and then visiting their charming property.

It was all good, really fun experience! Loved loved being with a small group. Our guides were good, lunch was delightful! I just wish there would be some way to make the time on the actual river longer.

This was an amazing trip! Leo (the one with the glasses) was an amazing and friendly tour guide! He made us feel very welcomed and stopped at the best spots for us to take foto’s. The group size was also very small so that was perfect. I would recommend this tour 100% to anyone that wants to explore the Douro Valley.

If you are looking for a small group tour, this is it! João was our driver/guide and he was so knowledgeable, personable, and down to earth. The vineyards we visited were unique and steeped in history - and the wines and food were amazing. The boat ride was the cherry on top, with more snacks and drinks offered. A truly unforgettable experience and one of the best ways to see the beautiful Duoro Valley.

What a fabulous day! Leo was a great guide and all around super nice guy. He set the tone having everyone share enough about themselves to make us all feel like friends - even those of us who “don’t like people.” Our first winery, Quinta Avidagos (sp?) was beautiful, and our host Pedro gave us a great tour and thorough explanation of harvesting and the wine making process. We tasted 3 amazing wines - a white, a rose and a red. The flavors are so pure - no preservatives - and just yummy. Then we had a relaxing and beautiful ride in their private solar powered boat - just our group, not on a massive boat with tons of people. There we had white port tonics which were very refreshing, and delicious snacks, which were enough to be a meal. The views were incredible. Then back in the van with Leo to a viewpoint then on to lunch at another winery. The food was home prepared, and we tasted at least 5 wines (we lost count), a combination of table wines & port. Both the family members and Leo served us, then we had time to look around their home and land. Lastly we had an enjoyable ride back to Porto with Leo sharing more about the countryside, Porto and Portugal. It was one of the best experiences of our trip. Recommend very highly - it’s a wonderful way to understand Portugal’s wine and culture.

The most memorable parts of our wine country tour was the beautiful scenery we enjoyed. We had a wonderful tour guide , Rita, who was an excellent driver. Since she was a native of the area, she had many interesting stories to tell. We enjoyed the fact that the wineries we visited were smaller and more intimate. The people on our tour were friendly.

The trip was phenomenal. Our guide (Leonardo) was so knowledgeable, passionate, and personable. He was intentional about showing us experiences that are a bit "off the beaten path" which made the whole experience less "touristy" and much more culturally fulfilling. The lunch was an incredible home-cooked meal at a location with regional significance and rich history. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for an immersive day in the valley.
