The Douro Valley's definitive gourmet day: two distinct wine regions, a certified sommelier at your side, a long vineyard lunch, and a Douro river cruise. Bucket-list for anyone who takes wine seriously.
What to expect
Starting in Régua, your expert guide takes you through the Port-producing terraces of the Baixo Corgo and into the Douro Superior, comparing the character of wines from each sub-region with structured tastings at two estates. A long, leisurely lunch at a quinta — paired wines included — is served on a terrace overlooking the river. The return leg is a scenic Douro cruise, watching the schist terraces recede in the golden afternoon light.
Good to know
Book the private option for maximum flexibility and a guaranteed return time that suits your ship. The food-and-wine combination means a relaxed pace — factor a full day (8–9 hours). Confirm dietary requirements at booking; the quintas are very accommodating.
