Portugal’s Douro Valley looks like someone painted rolling green terraces right down to the river. You’ll spend the day cruising quietly past those vineyards on a relaxed boat ride, then sit down for a proper lunch where the local wines match every bite perfectly. The highlight is stepping into a small family winery – the owners show you around the cellars and pour their favorite reds, whites and ports while sharing stories only locals know. Comfortable van, great viewpoints and a friendly guide keep everything easy so you can just soak it all in.
