In this 10-hour tour, we will visit the oldest Demarcated Region of the World (1756), which was considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001 - the Douro region.
Our day will begin in Porto, the "Invicta" city. We will start the tour and head east, where the Alto Douro awaits us!
Our first stop in the Douro region will be at a wine estate in Favaios. Located between 1000 hectares of vineyards, these centuries old wine estate will give us the opportunity to taste the delicious golden-coloured nectar that is Muscatel wine inside its sanctuary.
We will then depart for the historic village of Pinhão, where a regional lunch awaits us in a beautiful local restaurant, but on our way we still get a chance of visiting one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the region. After lunch, we will have some free time to explore the village.
Now, with energies restored, we will visit another family wine estate where you’ll get to understand how both Douro DOC wine & Port wine are made, having the possibility of tasting both styles. Understand how the effects of the region's climate and rich soil influence the grapes, learn about the special storage techniques that result in these distinctive flavours, and hear about the preparation of still and fortified wines.
On the last stop in the region, we will visit a family wine estate specialised in Port wine production. With a beautiful view of the valley, we will taste the wine that made this entire region famous throughout the World.
At the end, we will return to Porto.
