Activity itinerary

Porto (Pass by)

Your experience starts at our Meeting Point, next to S. Bento Station and you will meet your guide that will drive you to the Amarante, our first stop. On your way to the Douro Region, your guide will give you insights regarding the Portuguese history, development and cultural facts of portuguese heritage.

Amarante

  • 45m
Amarante, our first stop, features the majestic Serra do Marão and the river Tâmega, which flows through the city and adds charm to its picturesque houses. The city, possibly founded by the Roman centurion Amarantus, links the provinces of Minho and Trás-os-Montes. In the 13th century, St. Gonçalo, a Benedictine monk and the city's patron saint, built a bridge over the Tâmega. Amarante is also renowned for its sweets, including papos de anjo, brisas do Tâmega, toucinho do céu, bolos de São Gonçalo, and galhofas, which can be found in local cake-shops and cafés.

Miradouro de Sao Leonardo de Galafura

  • 30m
Our second stop, at 640 meters high, is the São Leonardo da Galafura Viewpoint between Vila Real and Peso da Régua. This spot offers breathtaking views of the Douro River and the steep, vineyard-covered slopes of the historic Trás-os-Montes region.

The Douro Valley

  • 1h
It's now time for Lunch! Your guide will take you to a local restaurant where you will have a delicious traditional all-inclusive portuguese meal. Try some of most traditional portuguese gastronomy pairing with some local Douro table wines. (Vegetarian option for lunch is available, make sure you request it during the booking process)

N222 (Pass by)

The N222 road is classified as the most beautiful road in the world and guides us along the south bank of the Douro River, for miles of pleasure, fascination and beautiful surroundings into the very heart of the Douro Wine Region.

Cais do Pinhão

  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
Time to Sail on a scenic Rabelo boat, sided by terraces where the vines that produce ours, and yet so global, Port grow. The vision from the river to both banks, in areas where only vineyards and wine farms exist, is a unique experience.

Pinhao

  • 1h 30m
For an authentic vineyard experience, you will visit a vineyard estate, in the heart of the Douro Valley. Discover the secrets of the vineyards as you take a guided walking tour through the property, stopping at points of interest along the way and taking in the magnificent landscape of the vineyards. During the guided visit, and before returning to Porto, you will also enjoy the unforgettable experience of tasting of different wines.
