Itinerary
Your journey begins at one of the most prestigious and photographed wine estates in the world. At this stop, you’ll have the chance to walk through century-old terraced vineyards that form a breathtaking natural amphitheater overlooking the river. The focus here is the rich Port Wine heritage, where you will visit historic aging cellars and enjoy a premium wine tasting of labels that set the global standard for excellence. It is the perfect introduction to the grandeur of the Douro Valley.
We then move on to a more exclusive, family-run property known for its sophistication and deep respect for the land. In this intimate setting, you’ll discover the secrets behind the production of superior DOC Douro wines (whites and reds). The guided tasting highlights the unique freshness and structure that only this specific terroir can produce, offering you a direct connection with the passion of those who dedicate their lives to winemaking.
Conclude your journey at one of the most welcoming and emblematic estates in Régua, where tradition and Douro hospitality are felt in every detail. At this stop, you will have the privilege of visiting the historic wine cellars, discovering where the wine rests and gains its character. The highlight of the experience is a full traditional lunch, served at the estate and paired with wines produced on-site, allowing you to savor local gastronomy in an authentic and relaxing setting before returning to Porto.

Traveler reviews
Great tour
Excellent,. Great wine and entertainment
Highly recommend for amazing views and wine!
Had a great tour with João (guide) and Lucas (driver)! Went to 3 awesome wineries with AMAZING views. Stops were well paced, so it wasn’t overwhelming to go place to place. João and Lucas were so fun to talk to, and I enjoyed talked to the rest of the people on the tour. We had 19 total. Lunch was later in the day but it was so good. I got seconds of the meat dish and ample wine. Total from the tour we did: Stop 1: 2 wine tasting + 2 port Stop 2: 2 port Stop 3: 2 wine with lunch + 2 port During stop 2, half the group did the boat tour while we continued to do an additional tasting. No regrets missing the boat tour. Van we took was a very nice Mercedes sprinter van with great AC, wifi, and charging ports. Meet up was easy and they called out names to confirm who was on the tour. A great tour to take during my 30th birthday trip with my friends!
10/10 Tour!
I didn’t know what to expect since this was my first wine tour. The meetup location wasn’t exactly clear, but we manage to find it. The ride was about a hour and a half which isn’t awful if you just sleep on the bus. The wine stops were a lot of fun and everyone was so knowledgeable. Our tour guide, Joao, and driver ,Luca, were funny, kind, and helpful. The tour overall was a lot of fun!
Such a blast!!
Super fun! Food was great! Wine and port was excellent! Unlimited wine at lunch! Would not recommend bringing kids
Great Douro Wine Experience
João and Lucas were excellent guides and my group had a great time. They got us to our place promptly and were funny, professional, and attentive.
