Douro Valley: so much more than wine

Today enjoy Douro Valley through its wine and food culture.

Meet your guide for the ride along the Douro river valley into wine country.  We’ll begin with a stop at the lookouts over the river.  Stop in Provesende, a small village with many granite manors and noble homes. See the pillory in the center of the village and stop in the local bakery for a mid-morning treat. We’ll stop at the first winery shortly after. See the vineyards, learn the process of port wine and taste 2 varieties. Continue along your way to Lamego, where you’ll have a wine tasting lunch at a local winery. After lunch, take a short river ride to Pinhao, named for pine nuts.  Finish the day with a tour of this fishing village, before heading back to Porto.
