Full description
Explore one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world and immerse yourself in the fascinating universe of Port Wine. You will gain in-depth knowledge of this region and the historical figures who shaped it into the extraordinary destination you are about to discover.
Starting at 09:00, your private driver-guide will pick you up at your accommodation to begin an unforgettable day in the Douro Valley, a wine region demarcated since 1756 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. The landscape is considered one of the most beautiful in the world and will undoubtedly impress you.
Our first stop will be Amarante, a picturesque town on the banks of the Tâmega River, closely linked to São Gonçalo, the city’s patron saint, known as a matchmaker. Here you will learn about local legends and traditions, visit the Church of São Gonçalo, and discover the history of the bridge over the river, which makes this place so special. You will also have free time to explore the historic center or taste traditional pastries.
We will then continue to Pinhão, on the banks of the Douro River, where you will visit one of the finest wineries in the Douro Valley. There, you will learn all about the production process of this unique beverage: Port Wine. The experience includes a picnic-style lunch at the winery.
To end the day, you will enjoy one of the highlights of the tour: a shared one-hour panoramic river cruise. The views from the water are truly unique.
At the end of the experience, we will return to Porto, with transfer back to your hotel.
