The day

Small group, two wineries, one Douro.

We leave Porto at nine in the morning. Comfortable van, eight people maximum. By midway you know everyone; by the end of the day you've swapped contacts.

First stop: a Vinho Verde estate, whites tasting with terraced views. Then we climb up to the Douro. Pinhão at noon, chef's lunch at our family quinta.

Slow afternoon: reds tasting, Vintage Port opened with the iron, olive oil tasting. Then a private one-hour boat cruise on the river before heading back.

Back in Porto around seven. Tired. Happy. Already thinking about the next one.

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.

Is the van really 8 people max? +
Yes — 8 max. We use a comfortable van so the group fits at the same lunch table. Bigger groups go on the Bus Groups tour.
Is it really Vinho Verde + Douro in one day? +
Yes. Morning in Vinho Verde (lighter whites), afternoon in the Douro (reds and Port). The two regions are 90 minutes apart by road.
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.
