Description
Discover one of the world’s most stunning wine valleys on a complete, authentic and truly unforgettable experience. This Douro Valley tour was designed for travelers who want a special day in a small group of up to 8 people, ensuring comfort, exclusivity and a more personal connection with the region.
Your day begins with the convenience of pickup at your hotel in central Porto (optional) or meeting point. From the moment you step into our comfortable, air-conditioned van, you can simply relax while your local guide shares stories, curiosities and traditions from a region with more than two thousand years of winemaking history. With a small group, there is space for conversations, questions and a much more intimate experience.
Your first stops take you to some of the Douro’s most iconic viewpoints, where the river winds between ancient terraced vineyards. These are perfect moments for photos, but also for taking in the silence and understanding why this unforgettable landscape is protected by UNESCO.
Next, visit a century-old family winery that still produces wine using traditional methods — including foot-treading in granite lagares. Here, you will taste exceptional DOC wines and Port wines while learning directly from the people who keep these traditions alive.
Afterward, enjoy one of the highlights of the day: a full, harmonized lunch at a second family-run estate. Savor typical regional dishes prepared with local ingredients, along with tastings of artisanal olive oil and smoked sausages. Pair everything with an impressive selection of wines: DOC, Port, Moscatel, LBV and even Vintage Port. Shared around the table in a small group, it becomes a warm, relaxed and memorable moment.
In the afternoon, unwind on a private 1-hour cruise on the Douro River, exclusively for our small group and guided by a local expert. With snacks, drinks and the gentle movement of the boat, this is the perfect way to admire the terraced vineyards from the water — a perspective many travelers never get to experience.
Your return journey follows the legendary N222, often described as one of the most beautiful roads in the world, offering yet another chance to enjoy the valley’s dramatic scenery.
By the time you return to your accommodation in Porto, you’ll understand why so many travelers consider this the best day of their trip. With a perfect balance of wine, gastronomy, culture, nature and genuine hospitality — combined with the comfort of a group limited to just 8 people — this is more than a tour. It’s a day to cherish, remember and relive whenever you think of the very best of Portugal.
This experience is available in different formats so you can enjoy the Douro exactly the way you prefer: join a small group from a designated meeting point, choose the convenience of hotel pickup in central Porto, or elevate your day with a fully private tour created just for you and your companions.
