About the Activity
Discover the Douro in its most authentic and vibrant season on a luxury food and wine tour created by Portugal by Wine. We invite you to experience the true essence of the grape harvest by taking an active part in the manual harvest in the heart of the world’s oldest demarcated Wine Region. This is a unique opportunity to feel the pulse of the land, share the enthusiasm of the local people, and celebrate the magical transformation of fruit into wine.

Over the course of two days, we propose a total immersion that combines ancestral know-how with modern comfort. You will have the privilege of taking part in picking the grapes amongst the centuries-old terraces, feeling the contagious energy of traditional foot-treading in the granite wine presses, and uncovering the winemaking processes that bring worldwide fame to the region's nectars.

Between the experience in the vineyards and moments of pure leisure, you will enjoy the best that Douro hospitality has to offer: from the rustic and genuine flavours of harvest lunches to the sophistication of a harmonised dinner in a prestigious wine hotel. To enhace this experience, there is nothing like the serenity of a private boat tour, sailing the waters of the Douro whilst taking in the landscape that Man has helped to shape.

Discover Portugal through Wine with Portugal by Wine!

  • Total immersion in the harvest season in the Alto Douro Wine Region;
