• Porto - Your journey begins at our Meeting Point near S. Bento Station, where you’ll meet your guide who will drive you to Amarante, our first stop. On the way to the Douro Region, your guide will share insights about Portuguese history, development, and cultural heritage.
• Amarante - Amarante, our first stop, boasts the majestic Serra do Marão and the Tâmega River, which flows through the city, enhancing the charm of its picturesque houses. The city, possibly founded by the Roman centurion Amarantus, connects the provinces of Minho and Trás-os-Montes. In the 13th century, St. Gonçalo, a Benedictine monk and the city’s patron saint, built a bridge over the Tâmega. Amarante is also famous for its sweets, including papos de anjo, brisas do Tâmega, toucinho do céu, bolos de São Gonçalo, and galhofas, which can be found in local cake shops and cafés.
• Miradouro de Sao Leonardo de Galafura - Our second stop, at 640 meters high, is the São Leonardo da Galafura Viewpoint between Vila Real and Peso da Régua. This spot offers breathtaking views of the Douro River and the steep, vineyard-covered slopes of the historic Trás-os-Montes region.
• The Douro Valley - It’s now time for lunch! Your guide will take you to a local restaurant where you will enjoy a delicious traditional all-inclusive Portuguese meal. Try some of the most traditional Portuguese dishes paired with local Douro table wines. (A vegetarian option for lunch is available; please request it during the booking process.)
• N222 - The N222 road is considered the most beautiful road in the world and takes us along the south bank of the Douro River, offering miles of pleasure, fascination, and stunning surroundings into the heart of the Douro Wine Region.
• Cais do Pinhão - Time to sail on a scenic Rabelo boat, flanked by terraces where the vines that produce our renowned Port wine grow. The view from the river to both banks, in areas where only vineyards and wine farms exist, is a unique experience.
• Pinhão - For an authentic vineyard experience, you will visit a vineyard estate in the heart of the Douro Valley. Discover the secrets of the vineyards as you take a guided walking tour through the property, stopping at points of interest along the way and taking in the magnificent landscape of the vineyards. During the guided visit, and before returning to Porto, you will also enjoy the unforgettable experience of tasting different wines.
