- Vale do Douro - Navigate a special river, in the heart of the first demarcated wine region in the world, and UNESCO heritage.
We start in Pinhão, pass under the Eiffel iron bridge, sail up the river to the Roncão area, returning to Pinhão.
You will see vineyards on terraces down to the river, in a landscape without national roads or road traffic.
Although the stretch of river on the way back is the same, it could very well be different, since when seen in another direction it creates totally different views and landscapes.
The traditional Rabelo boats have open and closed areas, allowing comfortable navigation at any time of the year and weather conditions.

Embark on a distinctive journey down a river situated in the heart of the oldest wine region in the world, also known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The journey begins in Pinhão, where you’ll traverse under the Eiffel iron bridge, proceeding towards the Roncão region, before making a turn to head back to Pinhão.
Experience the serene beauty of terraced vineyard hills nestled right next to the river, a sight unmarred by national highways or any visible traffic. Even though the voyage follows the same path back and forth, it will seem as if you’ve traversed two entirely different routes, due to the contrasting sights and landmarks. Rabelo boats, traditional to the region, are equipped with both open and enclosed spaces, ensuring your comfort while navigating under any weather condition all year round.
