Your day commences with a serene one-hour cruise along the Douro River, perfect for taking in the remarkable landscape.

The next stop is lunchtime at an impressive vineyard. Here, you’ll savor a four-course meal, which includes wine from their own collection, at a historic 17th-century property, topped off with a tasting of their exquisite Ports.

Further on, seize the opportunity to explore another small-scale family-owned production site, where the love for the trade is evident in their craft. Sample their red, white wines along with honey, bread, and olive oil from their personal produce.

Winery experience - Our guide Rita was very good, friendly and got us everywhere on time and the only reason for 5 stars. We had an issue with the pick up - we were provided incorrect information, but fixed promptly by Rita. Also the tour company should provide her with a microphone as it is impossible to hear from the back what is said when the bus is in motion. The content of the tour is good, but the wine tastings are very small, I think given the price paid they could be a little more generous.

A Magical Day - Spectacular views, delicious wine, fantastic guide, and new friends! This trip had it all. The combination of two wineries and a boat trip was just right.

Duoro day trip- a must! - What a wonderful surprising day! We visited two small wineries and had an intimate experience learning about and tasting the regional wines and ports. The delicious lunch was in a very scenic outdoor setting overlooking the valley- it couldn’t have been nicer. And Rita, our guide, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and the best!

Porto - Port - Portugal Fun Fun - I’m literally being driven back to hotel by Pedro after our excellent day in The Douro. I knew me n my lovely wife would enjoy but didn’t expect my post adolescent boys to actually enjoy. The tour was really well planned. If available I’d add at least the 6th star Thanks to Pedro. Great day. Abrigado!

Douro Valley Winery and River Cruise - Great day. Great sites. Enjoyable wines. Fantastic tour leader who was very knowledgeable and personable. Only downer was getting caught behind a traffic accident. Food at lunch was passable.

Mixed Reviews on This Trip - The lunch was fabulous on this trip. The scenery was impressive. The Duoro River "cruise" was a huge disappointment. It was a boat ride up and down a short unimpressive section of the river. There was no narration or information of any kind. The morning wine tasting was ok, and the port wine tasting after lunch was delicious. Half of the trip was A+, the order half was a D or C at best.
