What you will be doing
Meet the driver at your hotel in Porto (if option selected), and then set out through the scenic Douro Valley in a comfortable minibus, watching the landscape of rolling vines unfold. The day's itinerary includes two wineries, where you learn about the history of winemaking in the area, guided by local winemakers.
One of the stops is to a renowned wine estate in an area famous for Port Wine. Follow their wine cultivation and production process from field to bottle, and sample some quality wines. At mid-day, pause for a hearty lunch of Portuguese foods.
Trade the minibus for a panoramic river cruise in Pinhão, a relaxing way to see even more of the valley landscape, with unobstructed views from the boat.
