Douro Valley
A unique and sustainable trip, with the hottest locations, allowing you to experience the best of Douro Valley, including guided tours, gastronomy, wine tastings, and boat cruise.
The day starts when we pick you up. After a 1h45 trip, we will arrive at our first destination: the village of Casal de Loivos. Here we will visit an old olive oil mill turned into a museum, where we will learn and understand a bit more about this very important product of the region. This visit ends with a tasting of 3 table wines, olive oil, almonds, and honey.
After the tasting, we will descend to the village of Pinhão to take an upstream 40-minute boat cruise, to enjoy the calm Douro River’s waters and have a better perspective of the great producers located along the shore.
You will then disembark at Quinta de Ventozelo, the Crown Jewel of the Gran Cruz Corporation. Lunch will be served here. Their “Farm to Fork” concept was considered in late 2021 by National Geographic as one of the 3 best Gastronomical experiences in the world.
Lunch will be paired with 3 wines of the Estate.
After lunch, we will visit their museum, where we will experience the Douro Valley in a single estate, and we’ll compare a big producer to a small one, learning about the process of producing Porto Wine from this award-winning vineyard.
Lastly, we will head for our Porto Wine & final tasting at Quinta Seara D’Ordens. Family-owned since 1792, they are proud to have very exquisite, unique & boutique products, second to none.
