About The New Douro Tour
We have designed this experience for the wine lovers but also for whoever is looking for a non-commercial non touristy wine tour. This experience offers a very personal tour circuit in the Douro Valley featuring two wineries and a lunch at one of them, with the winemaker(s).
Board an offbeat wine tour with only your private group and get ready for a beautiful journey in the unforgettable scenery of the Douro Valley and river!
We’ve set an important standard for the winemakers we select: the respect for nature, time and place. They make the wines we actually enjoy drinking! So, in reality, it’s like we’re visiting friends! You’ll meet and talk to them and have an overview about their unique wine making processes & lifestyle.
Throughout the day you’ll have the opportunity to taste several wines at two wineries. We adapt the tasting as much as possible, according to your preferences and season.
We consider that each day, more and more people look forward to more organic, natural and handcrafted wines! This is a great opportunity, not only for a tasting but also to speak directly to the people that make them!
If you’d like to be surprised, enrich your wine knowledge, and check out the Portuguese wine trends, join the New Douro!
