Step by Step

The Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Portugal and a World Heritage Site, and this tour allows you to discover it in the most special way: sailing along the river from Porto to Pinhão, while enjoying a full day surrounded by nature, gastronomy and wine.

The experience begins in Cais da Estiva, where you will embark towards the interior of the valley. As soon as you set sail, breakfast is served on board, perfect for a relaxing start to the day as the boat moves through the terraced vineyards that have made this wine region world famous.

During the navigation, you will experience unique moments such as the passage through the Crestuma-Lever dam, a spectacular 14-metre lock that will allow you to see the workings of these hydraulic works at close quarters. Lunch is served at midday, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available on request.

The route continues to the Régua Dam, where the landscape opens up to reveal the Douro in all its splendour. Arrival in Pinhão marks the next chapter of the day: a visit to a traditional wine estate, where you will tour the vineyards, discover how the famous Port wine is made and enjoy a guided tasting.

After the visit, a bus will take you back to Porto, allowing you to rest and reminisce about a day full of unforgettable landscapes, history and flavour. This is an ideal excursion for those who want to experience the Douro in its entirety: from the river to the vineyard.

    The excursion to the Douro Valley with lunch and wine tasting was an unforgettable experience, although I think it could be improved by better organising the times at each stop.
