A private car tour for all those who want to know more about wines.

This is a private tour that takes us on a journey through the history of one of Portugal's most beautiful regions, the Douro Valley. Discover and explore the region's history, letting yourself be charmed by the authenticity and friendliness of the Douro people. This is the ideal trip for lovers of photography, cultural heritage, winemaking, and gastronomy. We offer three tour options: Douro Classic: This option takes you to a small Douro wine producer, where you can explore the vineyard and enjoy a typical lunch. After this experience, there's a short trip to the Pinhão pier, where you'll take a short boat trip (lasting 1 hour) on a shared vessel and admire the beautiful landscapes along the banks of the Douro River. Douro Premium: The Premium option takes you to a family-run Quinta (wine estate), where you'll be served a lunch paired with a tasting of Douro wines and enjoy a pleasant walk among the vineyards. After this fantastic experience, we continue our journey to the Pinhão pier, where a private boat tour (lasting 1 hour) will take you to explore one of the most beautiful banks of the Douro River. After a pleasant boat trip, we continue our journey to Amarante, one of the most romantic cities in Portugal, where we will take a short tour of the city center. Douro Prestige: This is undoubtedly one of the most complete options, offering a more immersive experience through the landscapes of the Douro wine region. Here you will visit one of the most iconic Quintas (wine estates) in the Douro Valley, where all the senses harmonize, exploring the vineyards, enjoying a tasting of Douro wines, and culminating in a unique experience of having lunch amidst the vines (picnic with vegetarian option). Afterwards, there will be a short trip to the Pinhão pier for a private boat tour, exploring the banks of the Douro River. Finally, back in Porto, there will be a visit to the city center of Amarante, known as one of the most romantic cities in Portugal.
