Private Tour to stunning Douro Valley and most renowned wineries

Looking for an unforgettable way to experience the stunning Douro Valley? Whether you're looking to learn more about the wine-making process or just want to relax and enjoy the scenery, our private nature and winery tour is the perfect way to do it!

Douro, one of the best wines producing regions in the world

Very close to Porto lies this little wonder of our country — the demarcated region of the Upper Douro. There are about 250,000 hectares between the towns of Barqueiros and Barca d'Alva.

This region is famous all over the world for the production of wine, especially port wine and, in 2001, the area became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Did you know that the Douro is the oldest regulated and demarcated wine region in the world?
It was in 1756 that Marquês do Pombal ordered the territorial limits of the "Vineyards of the Upper Douro" to be defined. Thus, the 1st worldwide formal model for managing a wine region was created.

One of the most characteristic and impressive features of the region is that it seems to have been hand-built by artisans who imagined and "designed” deep valleys, unique slopes and mountains with stunning landscapes over the river and its vineyards.

It is the ideal setting for a different visit, private but, above all, designed for you and the people with whom you travel.

The Douro can be uncovered in many ways, but one thing that you can’t fail to notice is its glamour.

Whether it's a cruise on the river waters, tasting wines on a fantastic farm, or walking on the wonderful trails, the challenge we leave you is to dare to embark on a tour between ancient terraces, where you can be in contact with the people of the Douro.

Taste the best wines in the world and learn our secrets and tradition.

This tour offers you the chance to get to know the most important wine villages in the region. These are places that have unique background stories told among vineyards, monasteries, churches, castles, and museums. Pinhão, Peso da Régua and Provesende are three of the villages you really must get to know.

Our visit goes through two of the main farms in the region – Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Pacheca – where you will be able to taste the best wines in the world while you hear the secrets of centuries of living in the area, and information ranging from the process of wine production to the tread of the grape, to the characteristics of the soil itself. In other words, everything that is given to the wine that is made here results in its unique characteristics.

To appreciate all the beauty of the Douro River, you are invited for a boat ride in the village of Pinhão. This will give you a chance to get to know a beautiful section of the river, which has no access from the roads, and to have a unique experience full of tradition.

You can also dive into the refreshing waters of some of the best river beaches in the country.

And what about eating in the Douro?

One of the best parts of the day is undoubtedly lunchtime.
It is at the table that you will understand why this region is one of the best kept gastronomic secrets in Portugal.

Everything, from the famous Tripas to Bacalhau à Brás, without forgetting, of course, the Cabrito Assado, competes to make your day memorable.

Then finish up a typical lunch in style with a Bola de Lamego or with cake soaked in port wine. One thing is certain: the Douro is not recommended for those who do not like to eat well.
