The Douro’s endless terraces feel almost unreal up close, and this intimate day (max 8 people) keeps everything relaxed and personal. Your local guide picks you up in central Porto (or from your hotel) in an air-conditioned van, sharing real stories from a wine region over two thousand years old. Quiet viewpoints give you time to take in the river winding through vines. At a century-old family winery you see traditional foot-treading and taste standout DOC and ports straight from the makers. Lunch is memorable – regional dishes with olive oil and smoked sausages at another estate, paired with DOC, Moscatel, LBV and Vintage ports around one table. Afternoon brings a private one-hour river cruise just for your group, snacks in hand as the terraces glide by. Return along the stunning N222 road. Real wine, honest food, genuine hospitality – many call it their best day in Portugal. Private option available.
