This is an Intimate Journey Through the Heart of the Douro Valley

Step into the soul of the Douro Valley — the world’s first demarcated wine region and a UNESCO World Heritage site — on a day designed for those who savor authenticity, tranquility, and beauty.

Our journey begins at the meeting point in Porto, where we set off towards the valley. To truly capture its magic, we take a scenic loop through its most breathtaking landscapes. The first stretch follows the N323, a road lined with astonishing viewpoints where the river winds far below and vineyards climb the hills in graceful terraces.

Our first stop is a small, family-run winery — a hidden gem where the winemaker himself shares his craft. You’ll taste elegant Douro reds and whites, rich local olive oil, and other artisanal delicacies, each bite and sip steeped in tradition.

From there, we descend to Pinhão, the valley’s most picturesque village — a place so enchanting it feels like a living fairy tale. Here, you’ll board a one-hour boat tour along the Douro River, gliding past landscapes you can only witness from the water. The silence of the valley, broken only by the gentle ripple of the boat, makes this an unforgettable moment.

After the river, we take the famed N222, voted one of the most beautiful roads in the world, to our second boutique winery. Nestled among the vines, this estate invites you to slow down, savor a leisurely regional lunch paired with their finest wines, and wander through the vineyard at your own pace.

By late afternoon, we make our way back to Porto, returning around 5:00 PM — hearts and senses full from a day immersed in the quiet elegance of the Douro.
