Douro Valley Tour from Oporto: Wine Tastings, Boat Trip & Lunch

Here is what's in store for you

With pickup and drop off at your hotel or accommodation in Oporto, we'll start our day in the minivan with up to 8 seats.

The tour begins with a visit to a Port wine producer of a reputable brand: Croft - Quinta da Roêda. There will be a personalized guided tour of the vineyards ending in the Lagares room where the whole process of making the famous Port wine will be explained so that you'll understand every secret of this incredible product. The Port wine tasting will be accompanied by a careful selection of Portuguese cheeses. Then we will make a short trip to the village of Pinhão where we will embark on a 1-hour boat ride. The tour will serve to relax in the calm waters of the Douro River while we can contemplate the landscape and nature of the Douro Valley.

Lunch will be served in a typical Portuguese restaurant that we selected in order to offer you a valid choice of meat, fish, or vegetarian option. Everything is included in the price. After lunch, we'll have time to visit a small table wine producer. The experience will be private so that the guide will give more importance to explaining the difference between entry-level and premium wines and the difference between the techniques of winemaking.

The visit ends with an olive oil tasting. We will not be able to finish the tour without giving you the best panoramic views of the Douro Valley, so upon our return, we will choose a scenic road where we can stop to take the best picture of your trip. We'll get back to Oporto in the afternoon.
