We invite you to a wonderful tour through the Douro in the Portuguese Presidential Train.
Climbing the steps of the Presidential Train is like entering in a time machine, where you can sense the aroma and hear purposeful music. The trip begins and ends at the magnificent São Bento Station, in the center of Porto. Each guest will have their travel place in 6, 3 or 2 seater cabins.
During the trip, you'll taste the best wines from Douro estates, allowing each one to present the best of its production. You'll also savour dishes prepared by Chef Chakal that reflect the rich cuisine of the Douro, with each journey featuring a main course prepared by a local chef renowned for his specialty. Stories of the train, the Douro, and the places the train passes through will also be shared, while you enjoy an enchanting atmosphere with live music.
When you arrive at Ferradosa station, a transfer will be waiting to take you to the S. João da Pesqueira Wine Museum, where you will enjoy a unique experience.
During the return journey, while the Douro landscapes pass by your window, you'll savour an exclusive selection of the region's best wines. This tasting will be accompanied by typical Douro specialties, from traditional sweets to the finest cured meats and cheeses, in an authentic celebration of local flavors.
The crown jewel of Portugal’s railway, the Presidential Train has hosted Kings, Presidents, Heads of State and Popes for over a century. In 2010 the emblematic train was magnificently restored to its luxurious standard, maintaining the original furnishing and style that made it iconic, offers an exclusive trip in space and time.
