Visit the unparalleled Douro Valley, the first-denominated wine region in the world and a world heritage site by UNESCO.
Start at the meeting point in Porto and embark on a scenic drive around the valley. Make a short stop at a viewpoint and then visit the first winery of the day. Try some red and white wines, olive oil, and other products. Pair everything with local bread, jam, cheeses, and hams.
Take a short walk through the vineyard, and learn about the work done during the season, such as pruning, grafting, and harvesting.
Then, stop in Pinhão for a typical Portuguese lunch at a local tavern with 2 dishes, meat, and fish, as well as great options for vegans and vegetarians.
After lunch, take a mini-cruise in a typical boat along the astonishing Douro Valley (please select the option with a 1-h boat cruise) with all the scenic views of the Porto Wine vineyards, terraces, and wineries as a background.
The journey will continue through National 222, a road with more stunning views. Stop at the 2nd winery to learn about the region's famous Port wine, with tastings. Finally, we will return to Porto in the late afternoon.
