Winery stays in Portugal: Douro, Alentejo and Vinho Verde

This page lists 13 wine holidays in Portugal, all of one or two nights. Eight are at the same wine resort, Casas do Côro, each built around a different activity; the others are in the Alentejo, in the Vinho Verde region and in the Douro Valley.

Where can you stay among the vineyards in Portugal?

  • Casas do Côro, in the historic village of Marialva, south of the Douro near the Côa Valley: 2 nights with a welcome glass of sparkling wine and a tasting dinner paired with 4 or 5 wines at its restaurant, Casão do Largo.
  • L'AND Vineyards, at Montemor-o-Novo in the Alentejo: 2 nights in a Sky View suite, a session to blend your own wine, a tasting with a visit of the vineyard and winery, and a gastronomic dinner with wine pairing.
  • Terra Rosa Country House & Vineyards, at Ponte de Lima in the Vinho Verde region: one night with a welcome glass of the estate's wine, plus, depending on the stay, a massage, a picnic by the vineyards with a bottle of their Vinho Verde, or a heated pool and bikes.
  • Two-Day Scenic & Wine Escape in the Douro Valley: from Porto by train to Pinhão, a Rabelo boat trip, a night in Favaios with dinner, a Moscatel tasting, a Port tasting and lunch at Quinta da Avessada, and the transfer back to Porto.

How do you choose between the Casas do Côro stays?

By the activity. The eight versions add, for example, a spa circuit and a massage, a train ride along the Douro Superior from Pocinho, a visit to the rock art of the Côa Valley and its museum, lunch at Quinta da Ervamoira, a cooking workshop or a picnic with e-bikes. The Côa Valley rock art and the Alto Douro wine region are both UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Can you visit the Douro without a car?

Yes, with the two-day escape from Porto: it starts at São Bento station and includes the train, the boat, the drives on the second day and the return to Porto. For the other stays you need a car.

When is the best time to go?

Spring and autumn. The Douro harvest is in September, and in October and November the terraced vineyards turn yellow and red. Summers in the Douro and the Alentejo are very hot.

Portugal: Good to know

▸ How much does a wine holiday in Portugal cost?

The 13 wine holidays you can book in Portugal on Winedering cost from €115 to €665.50. The price depends on the number of nights, on where you sleep (a room at the winery, a wine resort or a farm stay) and on what else the package includes, such as a tasting, dinner or visits to other wineries.

▸ Where can I find wine tours in Portugal with transfer but no overnight stay?

A wine tour lasts a day or less and does not include a stay: transfer, guide and tastings, then you go back where you came from. See the wine tours in Portugal.
