Your chauffeur-guide will pick you up at your hotel for a scenic journey into the Douro Valley, where nature and wine come together in perfect harmony.
Let us open the doors of the Douro for you and share the best of both worlds: breathtaking landscapes and exceptional wines.
We’ll travel along scenic routes, stop at the best viewpoints, and visit a carefully selected mix of wine estates—whether traditional, modern, commercial, or small family-run vineyards. Every detail of the day is thoughtfully planned, including a stop for lunch where you’ll enjoy authentic local flavors in a charming, non-touristy village deep in the valley.
To truly appreciate Port wine, it’s essential to taste the full range-from Ruby and Tawny to Vintage Ports and more. We’ll explore the differences in aging and evolution, and also introduce you to the Douro’s outstanding red and white wines.
While Porto is home to the famous Port Wine lodges-where the wine is stored and aged-the heart of Port wine production lies 120 km (85 miles) inland, in the Douro Valley. This is where the vineyards thrive, and the winemaking truly begins.
The Douro Valley is the oldest demarcated wine region in the world, with a protected designation of origin. Its rich heritage belongs not only to the Portuguese but also to the British, whose influence is still present today.
Surrounded by mountains, the valley remains a hidden gem-a place where nature is preserved and local traditions remain strong. These mountains also create a unique microclimate ideal for growing the native grape varieties used in Port wine.
Originally known for exporting fine red wines, the Douro’s destiny shifted with the rise of Port wine. Since then, an entire industry has flourished-shaping the history and identity of both the Douro and Porto to this day.
