Private Vinho Verde Tour to Vila do Conde & Ponte de Lima with Pastry Tasting, from Porto

Your full-day tour begins with a private pickup in Porto, heading north to the coastal town of Vila do Conde, a place tied to Portugal's maritime history. You'll explore its historic center, visiting the Royal Customs House, a 16th-century Caravel replica and the Bobbin Lace Museum. Here, you will also have a tasting of the town's traditional pastries, including rosquinhas, cariocas, sapatetas and beijos de freira.

The day continues to Ponte de Lima, Portugal's oldest village. You will walk through its preserved medieval center and see the Roman bridge that spans the Lima River. From there, you'll enter the heart of the Vinho Verde wine region to visit two family-owned wineries. At Quinta Casa de Santa Eulália, you will taste four wines, followed by three more at Quinta do Ameal. The tastings, held in a dedicated room or on a terrace depending on the weather, will feature seven Vinho Verde wines in total, focusing on native grapes like the white Loureiro and Arinto, and the red Vinhão.
