This is an Intimate Journey Through the Heart of the Douro Valley
Step into the soul of the Douro Valley — the world’s first demarcated wine region and a UNESCO World Heritage site — on a day designed for those who savor authenticity, tranquility, and beauty.
Our journey begins at the meeting point in Porto, where we set off towards the valley. To truly capture its magic, we take a scenic loop through its most breathtaking landscapes. The first stretch follows the N323, a road lined with astonishing viewpoints where the river winds far below and vineyards climb the hills in graceful terraces.
From our booking options, if you select 2 WINERIES OPTION, the first stop is in a small, family-run winery — a hidden gem where the winemaker himself shares his craft. You’ll taste elegant Douro reds and whites, rich local olive oil, and other artisanal delicacies, each bite and sip steeped in tradition.
From there, we descend to Pinhão, the valley’s most picturesque village — a place so enchanting it feels like a living fairy tale. Here, you’ll board a one-hour boat tour along the Douro River, gliding past landscapes you can only witness from the water. The silence of the valley, broken only by the gentle ripple of the boat, makes this an unforgettable moment. (This will be your first stop if you choose to book the 1 WINERY OPTION)
After the river, we take the famed N222, voted one of the most beautiful roads in the world, to our second boutique winery. Nestled among the vines, this estate invites you to slow down, savor their finest wines (If you would like to have lunch at the winery, this is possible with the PREMIUM OPTION), and wander through the vineyard at your own pace. For the REGULAR OPTION with 2 WINERIES, lunch will be served at a local restaurant before the last winery visit and tasting.
By late afternoon, we make our way back to Porto, returning around 6:00 PM — hearts and senses full from a day immersed in the quiet elegance of the Douro.
