Private Douro Valley Wine Tour: Two Regions, Lunch & River Cruise

Journey into the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley with a private expert guide, tasting wines across two acclaimed regions before a leisurely river cruise back. This is Porto's single most breathtaking day out — vineyards cascading to the river, world-class ports, and a long lunch in a quinta.

What to expect

Your private guide collects you at the port and whisks you along the Douro corridor as the terraced vineyards unfold. You visit two distinct wine sub-regions — each with dedicated tastings at estate-level producers — before sitting down to a full regional lunch at a quinta with sweeping river views. The return leg is a scenic Douro river cruise, arriving back to Porto with the golden afternoon light on the bridges.
