Sobre
Partimos da Marina da Afurada em direção à bela zona histórica do Porto e Cais de Gaia. Passando a Ponte da Arrábida, começamos por servir o primeiro vinho da sua escolha e preferência. Chegando à Ponte D. Luiz I, servimos uma tábua de degustação com queijos de qualidade superior, enchidos, compotas e chutneys variados, fruta fresca, bolachas gourmet, frutos secos, entre outros sabores. Ao longo do percurso e apreciando tranquilamente as suas margens ouvimos boa musica rumando ao mar. Faremos nova prova de vinho, e finalizamos com vinhos do Porto das três variadades como Tawny, Ruby e o Branco, para que usufrua de uma sensação completa de sabores. Ao final do nosso passeio, também podemos direcionar os nossos visitantes ao nosso espaço micro gourmet, onde poderão adquirir alguns dos produtos que degustaram a bordo e souvenirs. Degustar em pleno Rio Douro promete ser uma experiência memorável, não acha? Aproveite a pequena aldeia da Afurada onde poderá sentir a história de uma comunidade dedicada à pesca no Mar Selvagem Atlântico.
