The day

The Douro on your terms.

It starts at your hotel — Mercedes at the door between nine and ten. Executive S-Class (tinted glass, roomy seats for the family) or convertible E-Class (Douro wind and sunlight overhead).

We drive up to Pinhão along the river, stop for a coffee where nobody's taking photos of you, and arrive at the first quinta — small, family-run, run by cousins of ours. Private tasting, no groups passing through.

By noon we're home — Quinta da Bela. Farm-to-table lunch at the family table. Four hours later it's still going. That's when the best moment of the day arrives: the Vintage opened with a hot iron.

We return on the opposite bank, sun dropping over the terraces. Stop wherever you like. Photos arrive in your inbox the next day.

What's included

  • Two family wineries with private tasting
  • Farm-to-table lunch at our quinta
  • Vintage Port opening with a hot iron
  • 11 wine tastings (DOC, Port, aguardente)

  • WSET-certified sommelier with you all day
  • Professional photos throughout the day, shared after

About this day

What guests have said.

★★★★★
GetYourGuide
Excellent program, led by guide Tiago — very capable. Delicious lunch and plenty of tastings along the winery visits. Comfortable and safe transport with Jota driving. We left Porto in the morning and by the time we were back at night we already missed it.

Simply fantastic. It starts with guide George — Manuel's cousin. Such characters. Katia, George, Manuel, João, Tiago and Diogo (on the boat), all of them. I'd come back tomorrow if I could, and bring the rest of the family.

Questions

Before you book.

What's the difference between the S-Class and the convertible E-Class? +
The S-Class is the executive option (roomy seats, tinted glass, maximum comfort for 2-3 adults). The E-Class convertible is a cabriolet — perfect if you want wind and sun on the Douro. You choose when booking; same price.
What time does the day start? +
Pickup at your hotel between 9:00 and 10:00. We return to Porto or your hotel in the late afternoon, usually between 17:00 and 18:00.
Is lunch included? What if I'm vegetarian? +
Yes — farm-to-table lunch at our quinta, starter / main / dessert, wines paired. Vegetarian and gluten-free options available — let us know when booking.
Is it suitable for children? +
From 12 years old. Below that we don't recommend it — the day revolves heavily around tastings and long meals.
Can I cancel? +
Free cancellation up to 48h before. Between 48h and 24h: 50%. Less than 24h: non-refundable. Heavy rain? We reschedule at no cost.
