About

Embark on a luxurious journey through the heart of Portugal’s most iconic wine region — the Douro Valley, where breathtaking landscapes, rich traditions, and world-class wines await.

Your day begins with a scenic drive through the valley’s terraced vineyards and dramatic hills, revealing the natural beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site at every turn.

Visit the picturesque riverside village of Pinhão, where time seems to slow down. Stroll its charming streets, admire the beautifully tiled train station, and take in views of the surrounding vineyards that define this unique region.

The highlight of your day is an exclusive visit to one of the Douro Valley’s top award-winning wineries. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of the vineyards and cellars, learning about the estate’s winemaking philosophy, followed by a tasting of exceptional wines that showcase the best of the region’s character and craftsmanship.

At lunchtime, indulge in a traditional Portuguese meal, prepared with local flavors and served in a relaxed, scenic setting that invites you to slow down and savor every bite.

In the afternoon, enjoy a peaceful river cruise along the Douro River, offering stunning views of the valley’s terraced hillsides and tranquil villages — the perfect moment to unwind and soak in the atmosphere.

To elevate your experience even further, opt for our Boat & Lunch Tour upgrade, where part of your journey is taken by private boat, paired with a gourmet riverside lunch — turning an unforgettable day into an extraordinary one.

The tour concludes with a comfortable return to your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of the Douro’s beauty, culture, and flavor.
