Valleys and Bridges of the Douro from Porto

Magical villages, trails, vineyards amidst natural parks, and more curiosities that the Portuguese Douro Valley holds. A territory whose mix of heritage, nature, culture, and wine make it one of the unique tourist destinations in the country.

From the city of Porto, we will enjoy panoramic views of the vineyards that stretch across the hills of the region. We will also visit some villages and hamlets that dot the landscape and learn about their historical and cultural heritage. Let's get started!

Peso da Régua was recorded after 1756 with the creation of the Royal General Company of Agriculture of the Vineyards of the Douro, which established the first region with a designation of origin for wine production in the world. We'll have to try a glass!

But first, let's head to the port to talk about the number of barrels transported on "rabelo" boats to Gaia, where the wine aged in the cellars. And since we're here, how about a boat ride? Marvel at another perspective! Things always look different from the water. Don't forget your camera!

We will also visit Pinhão, a small town located in the heart of the wine region. It has a famous historical train station with beautiful azulejo murals in typical Portuguese blue and white colors, representing scenes of the river, vineyard harvest, and everyday life. We'll stop to admire it for a while! And as if it were a picture come to life, we'll also see those elongated harvests with our own eyes and in person. It smells amazing!

What's that sound? Is it your stomach growling? Time to eat! A free time stop where you can get lost among the vineyards or enjoy our traditional Portuguese lunch. Designed for all those who want to satisfy their culinary curiosity! You can also optionally enjoy a small wine tasting to choose your favorite and take it home as a souvenir of this unforgettable visit.

It's time to delve into some corners of the Douro Valley that precisely give it the essence that characterizes it so much. Green meadows with undulating paths! An image that will fill your senses, but we know that it will be the stop at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Douro that will truly impress you: the S. Cristóvão do Douro viewpoint, which has a peculiarity that sets it apart from the rest, its magnificent view of the vineyards and terraces of the Douro landscape decorated with the meeting between the Pinhão River and the waters of the Douro River. What a wonder!

The Douro River is one of the most important in the Iberian Peninsula, and its valleys are recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Discover in a single unique experience the natural and architectural beauty of the northern region of Portugal! We're waiting for you!
