Ermesinde - Begin your exclusive small-group Douro adventure with an early scenic train departure from Ermesinde Station, embarking on one of Europe’s most picturesque rail journeys. As the train departs Porto, the cityscape gradually transforms into rolling vineyards and the gentle curves of the Douro River.

Location: Ermesinde Train Station (Rua Rodrigues de Freitas 80, 4445-416 Ermesinde)
How to Get There: For convenience, it is recommended to use Uber, Bolt, or a local taxi, typically taking between 16 to 24 minutes.
Important: Please ensure timely arrival. Late arrivals may not be able to join the train, and missed departures are non-refundable. - Pinhao Railway Station - Disembark in the heart of the Douro Valley. You will be picked up and driven through winding vineyard roads, where each turn reveals new shades of green and gold.
- Pinhao - The first stop is a small, family-run quinta where winemaking remains a labor of love. Stroll among the vines, inhale the earthy aroma, and taste wines that never leave the valley. The family often serves the wine themselves — each sip narrating a story of sun, stone, and silence.
- Pinhao - Continue through the vineyards to a charming restaurant for a hearty regional lunch. Relish local dishes paired with Douro wines, surrounded by the valley’s serene beauty.
- Pinhao - Board a traditional rabelo boat and glide along the Douro River, once used to transport wine barrels downstream. Let the water reflect the terraced hills, feel the breeze, and enjoy light snacks or wine as you soak in the valley’s tranquility and beauty.
- Peso Da Regua - Return to Porto via minivan or minibus along the renowned N222 route, celebrated for its stunning vineyard terraces, olive groves, and riverside villages. Pause at scenic viewpoints for photos or simply to admire the panoramic landscapes of the Douro Valley. A coffee and snack break will be taken along the way — an opportunity to stretch, use the restroom, or pick up a local treat before continuing to the city.
- Porto - Arrive back in Porto. A day filled with train, river, and wine experiences, all enjoyed in a relaxed, small-group setting, leaves you with unforgettable memories of the Douro Valley.
