Portugal’s got more than just the Douro, and this full day takes you to family estates in both the crisp Vinhos Verdes and classic Douro areas. You kick off with a relaxed breakfast of smoked meats, cheeses and bread paired with fresh Vinho Verde whites (and rare reds). Next, wander the stunning Douro vines glass in hand, hear stories from the winemaker, and enjoy a proper farm-to-table lunch full of local flavors in a room with insane river views. Watch a sommelier open Vintage port with fire – a rare sight. End in charming Pinhão with free time, then a private one-hour boat cruise, drinks in hand while a guide shares valley secrets. Easygoing family hospitality all the way.
The lush, granite-bound hills of the Vinhos Verdes and the sun-drenched vertical terraces of the Douro Valley serve as the stage for this 10-hour premium eno-gastronomic expedition.
Operated by aDayinDouro, this "Top Rated" journey transitions from the historic center of Porto to two distinct demarcated wine regions in a single day.
You move from the rustic charm of a family estate to an exclusive private boat cruise in Pinhão, experiencing an environment where WSET-certified experts guide you through 10+ tastings.
