Details
Take a tour to two wineries to see the stunning Douro Valley. Visit the town of Amarante for a quick tasting of regional wines at both wineries. Before embarking on a river cruise through the lush Douro Valley, enjoy a delicious lunch.
Start your tour in Porto and drive to the Douro valley to learn about the history of the area and wine. Admire the town's Church and Convent of São Gonçalo during a coffee break in the historic town of Amarante, or pick up some pastries at one of the famous pastry shops.
Continue on to a Sabrosa winery. Take a guided tour of a wine estate owned by a family. During a guided tasting, you'll learn about and taste three wines from the estate. Enjoy a lunch overlooking the vineyards while sipping red and white Douro wines.
Following lunch, drive to Pinhão, stopping for photos at the São Cristovão viewpoint. Enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Douro valley. Before setting out on a cruise at Pinhão, take a look at the point where the Pinhão River meets the Douro River.
Take a guided tour of a well-known winery in the afternoon (Quinta São Luiz with Kopke/Burmester group or Quinta da Roeda with Croft/Taylor group). Discover the vineyard's history and the techniques used to make wine.

An excellent well planned day. Joann our tour guide did an amazing job explaining as we moved throughout the day. we visited two wineries. The first offered their tour and lunch (so much good food) and a tasting. The second tour brought us into to Vineyard, close to the grapes and a beautiful tasting.

We had a great guide and bus driver. Both were very sweet and knowledgeable. The trip was exactly as we expected. The only downside was the lunch food which was mediocre. Otherwise, the views, the boat ride, and the wine tasting was fun! I would recommend this to other visitors.

Jorge was great. I learned so much about the different types of wines and the Douro region. We spent just enough time at each location. Lunch was delicious. I would recommend this tour to those looking to spend the day in the Douro region. Tiago was our bus driver and he was also great maneuvering the many twists and turns!

A really great tour! Our guide Andre was amazing, he was so informative and nothing was too much for us- he really took care of everyone and had a great sense of humour. Our driver, Claudio, was also great and very friendly. We had 2 port wine stops throughout the day, which included tastings and information and seeing a port vineyard was lovely. The boat trip was also fantastic. We had a brilliant day. We were recommended this trip by a friend who had done it a few weeks before and were so glad we took the recommendation. A lovely day exploring the douro valley.

One of the best guided tours we have been on. The tour guide, Sophia, was very knowledgeable, considerate and entertaining. Sophia’s English was excellent and her anecdotes kept us all amused. The winery tours were very good and food and wine great. The river cruise was a nice way to relax after lunch. The coach driver, Daria, was polite and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.

Know that the pick up location listed is not the exact spot. You have to go to the nearest tourist office (which should be the one you booked with) and they will point you to the bus you’re suppose to get on. They match the vehicle with how many are completing the activity. For us it was a bus not a mini van. The cruise is not personal to your group. It’s shared with other people that paid for their own seats. You have to buy the wine you desire at the time you’re at that specific winery otherwise purchase online if that’s offered. The experience over wall was lovely. I would recommend if it matches your budget.

What a lovely tour. The tour guide is Noanoa and he was excellent, I could be spelling his name wrong but he said Nono. Anyway, he was great and very informative. All the places we went was great. My favorite is the 2nd vineyard where we went through the fields and picked the grapes and was able to eat them as they are organic. The wine tasting was also good and very knowledgeable.

This trip was the best thing we did visiting Porto. We learned so much from our guide, Nuno, the history of wine making going back to Roman days up until current days. Our visit to 2 wineries included a guided tour of the winery, wine tasting, and a very nice meal at one of the wineries. If you do anything, do this tour.

Excellent organisation, group was not too big, 25, minibus, Silvinho was driving like Carlos Sainz senior, not only because he stopped at Repsol, and Thiago was making a good atmosphere between the group keeping us awake with his jokes, wuips and subquestions. We’ve tried some divine taste wines, lunch was very good, we could make a pictures of a wonderful Douro Valley native and landscapes. River cruise didn’t took us too much time… Thiago gave us advices for other things to do in Porto, tips and hints… We’ve learned a lot abot Portugal and this region of a country. That was absolutely value for money experience!
