Highlights
-
Peso Da Regua - The meeting point or pick-up can be at any location in the Douro Region, and from here you will start your tour towards Sabrosa for the first stop.
Sabrosa is one of the many places bathed by the Douro, which saw its landscape being worked and shaped by the strength and determination of its men, and which now see it converted into a World Heritage Site. -
Sabrosa - Sabrosa will be our first stop, where we will visit a Wine Estate, learn about its history, and carry out a wine tasting.
Here, it will also be possible to learn about the traditional production methods of Douro wines in the course of a vineyard landscape made up of its vineyards, olive trees and terraces. - Casa dos Barros - The next stop will be for lunch at Casa dos Barros, one of the best preserved and magnificent manor houses in Sabrosa, classified as Heritage of Public Interest. The property built in the 18th century includes beautiful gardens of Baroque design, and an immense view over the vineyards, which you will have the opportunity to contemplate while tasting the best flavors of the Region.
- Miradouro Torguiano De Sao Cristovao Do Douro - We continue our journey to the viewpoint of S. Cristóvão do Douro, located on the road that connects Sabrosa to Pinhão. It is a place distinguished by Miguel Torga due to its extraordinary panoramic view, which results from the magnificent view of the vineyards and terraces of the Douro landscape, a World Heritage Site, but mainly due to the perfect and defined view of the meeting of the Pinhão River with the waters of the Douro River.
- Cais do Pinhão - It’s time to sail on a panoramic rabelo boat, flanked by terraces where the vineyards that produce the famous Port Wine grow. The view of the river towards both banks, in areas where there are only vineyards and wine estates, is a unique experience.
-
N222 - On your way to the next place to visit, enjoy what is considered one of the best and most beautiful stretches of road in the world!
Estrada Nacional 222 (Pinhão-Régua), which is one of the most mythical in Portugal. - Miradouro de Sao Leonardo de Galafura - The last visit will be to a Wine Estate located on the outskirts of the magnificent Miradouro de São Leonardo de Galafura, a fascinating place in the heart of the Douro.

Spectacular scenery! - Paulo was an excellent guide. He provided lots of information about the Douro Valley as well as Portuguese culture. The wine tastings were a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. Our favorite part was just being driven around the valley and seeing the gorgeous scenery.

One day Douro river trip and wine tasting. - Really enjoyed the 1 day trip down the Douro River. The scenery along the river was beautiful, especially when we got nearer to the wine region in Regua. The breakfast and lunch served was good. We were picked up promptly at Regua and had an great port wine tasting at Quinta Seara dÒrdens `winery followed by a trip to a beautiful viewpoint that gave a great view of the valley. My only complaint was that it gets very hot on the upper deck of the boat on a sunny day and it would be nice if there was some shade on the upper deck of the boat.

Great winery tours!!! - Each winery we visited was amazing! Loved the Douro river cruise.
Our tour “guide” was more of driver, not informative. Nice man, good driver but didn’t converse with us.

Excellent river cruise (1... - Excellent river cruise (1 hour) and entertaining and informative guide. Good lunch but would have preferred smaller restaurant. Second more boutique winery had the best wines/ports and the lookout point was great. Nice to be in a small minibus not a big coach! Thanks Paolo and for standing up to Mustang driver!
