Full description
On this 9-hour tour you get the opportunity to have an overview of the history and the landscapes of the Douro Valley.
The Douro Valley region is known for its unique landscape where the river is beautifully flanked by green mountains on both sides, forming an interesting “V” shape. Not only these mountains flank the river but they also serve a very important purpose: they are the soil where the wine vines are cultivated in terraces, making this sight even more fantastic. Nevertheless, there are plenty of other things to see in the valley including its rich culture, history, gastronomy, and traditions.
The Douro Valley is the world oldest demarcated region for wines in the world! It is also listed as a World Heritage site. After lunch, enjoy a 1-hour panoramic cruise in Pinhão.
End your day with a visit to Quinta da Roêda, where you will learn about the process of production of the famous Port wine and also enjoy a tasting of some of the wines produced in the winery.
