Private Douro Valley Tour: 2 Wineries, Cruise & Lunch

Discover the Douro Valley on a private tour. Visit two wineries — a family-owned estate and a prestigious producer — enjoy a guided tasting of 3 wines, a traditional lunch at a wine estate, and a 50-minute rabelo boat cruise on the Douro River.

Uncover the soul of the Douro Valley, one of the world’s oldest demarcated wine regions (since 1756) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a private full-day tour that blends wine, gastronomy, and breathtaking landscapes.

Your journey begins in Porto with hotel pick-up, followed by a scenic drive through the terraced vineyards that define the Douro.

During the day, you will visit two distinctive wineries:

A traditional family estate, where authenticity and warm hospitality set the tone.
A prestigious winery, where you will enjoy a guided tasting of 3 carefully selected wines, including Douro varieties and the world-renowned Port Wine.

Lunch is served at a wine-producing estate, featuring regional dishes paired with estate wines (vegetarian options available upon request).

In the afternoon, relax on a 50-minute rabelo boat cruise in Pinhão. These traditional wooden boats once carried barrels of Port Wine down the Douro; today, they offer the perfect vantage point to admire the terraced vineyards and charming riverside villages.

A private, tailor-made experience that brings together the very best of Douro’s culture, tradition, and hospitality
