AlmaDouro was created from a deep affection for the river and the city. Beyond just walks, it offers heartfelt memories that are simple, genuine, and authentic.

The journey begins at Douro Marina with a shared tour in a small group (maximum of 7 people). Glide beneath the six bridges connecting Porto and Gaia, amidst the vibrant Ribeira, the cellars, and the shimmering light leading to the Atlantic.

During this approximately 2-hour experience, guests enjoy an informal tasting of 4 Port Wines from Blend.PT, featuring small producers from the Douro, paired with local snacks. This is not a technical tasting—it’s about savoring flavors, engaging in conversation, and enjoying the scenery in a relaxed setting.

During the day, one can feel the city’s rhythm; at sunset, the light turns golden, and the river takes on a magical hue. At any time, the tasting is included—all that’s needed is to arrive and let time slow down.

Guests are welcomed with care, attention, and joy, as if greeting friends aboard. The true luxury here is the warm welcome and experiencing the Douro as if it were your own.
