Tour Overview
Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Porto. We will set off to discover the Douro region via minibus, a scenic ride of approximately 75 minutes where urban vistas transform into stunning hills adorned with terraced vineyards.
A short pause at a viewpoint will offer fantastic panoramic views of the Douro Vinhateiro, perfect for capturing memorable photographs. Continuing our journey, we will arrive in Pinhão, where a boat awaits for a delightful 90-minute cruise along the Douro River, complete with a glass of wine or sparkling wine to enhance the experience.
Upon returning to land, we’ll proceed to the Tua area for a leisurely lunch at a charming country house, where we will spend about 2 hours savoring the local cuisine in a picturesque vineyard setting.
Your culinary adventure will begin with a selection of regional cheeses and cured meats as an appetizer. For the main dish, opt for a tender veal steak or a delicious fish dish. To conclude the meal, indulge in a seasonal dessert, all paired with red and white wines.
Once we have satisfied our appetites, a panoramic train ride of half an hour will take us through the breathtaking valley. We’ll then return to Pinhão, providing you with around 20 minutes to explore, take photos, or simply enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the village.
Our adventure continues with an hour and 15 minutes dedicated to visiting a winery, where you can admire the breathtaking terraced landscapes of the Douro Wine Region. Cap off the tour with a tasting of 3 exquisite wines!
As the day comes to a close, we'll return to your hotel, concluding an unforgettable experience of approximately 8 to 9 hours.
