Winding through one of the world's oldest wine regions, the Douro Valley unfolds in a spectacular landscape of terraced vineyards and ancient farms. This intimate small-group tour offers a full day of discovery along the Douro Demarcated Region, beginning with a scenic drive from Porto and a stop at a sweeping panoramic viewpoint. At the first wine estate, an expert guide leads travelers through the vineyards and cellars, sharing the history of Port wine production and the secrets behind three distinct tastings. A three-course lunch paired with regional wines follows, served in a charming village with the valley as its backdrop.

The afternoon offers a scenic cruise of approximately 50 minutes along the Douro River from Pinhão, drifting past terraced vineyards and traditional farms in a breathtaking riverside setting. The day concludes at a second, more traditional estate, where artisanal production methods and three additional tastings, including select fortified wines, bring the Douro's rich winemaking heritage to life.
