Join us for an unforgettable full-day tour of the stunning Douro Valley, renowned for its terraced vineyards, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. This off-the-beaten-path adventure in a 4-wheel drive vehicle (driven by one of our talented and experienced guides) will take you through scenic routes and hidden gems that few tourists get to see.
The day starts at our meeting point, and we will head to the Valley.
For the drive we will do a loop around the valley to better see and enjoy all the different landscapes, first driving through the N323 road with all the astonishing viewpoints of the valley and where we have the first stop, a small winery from a local producer to try his regular wines (reds and whites from the region), olive oil, and other products made with olives and everything paired with local bread, jelly, cheeses, and hams.
Lunch will be in a small winery, with typical Portuguese food, red and white wine (and water, of course!)
Still, in Pinhão, we have a 1-hour mini-cruise in a typical Rabelo boat along the astonishing Douro River with the Valley as a background view (the boat cruise is shared with other groups).
The journey will continue through the National Road 222, one of the most iconic roads in Portugal, winner of the “World's Best Driving Road Award”, which will take us to the second winery for more tasting, pairings, and stories from the owner of the winery.
After that, we will return to Porto and arrive at Porto at around 6:00 PM.
