Your afternoon in the Douro, step by step

1. Pick-up in Porto

Your private driver collects you at your hotel or apartment in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle — bottled water and phone chargers on board.

2. Scenic drive into the valley

The city gives way to terraced vineyards and river views on the way to the heart of the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage wine region.

3. Family-run wine estate

The heart of the afternoon: a guided visit to a small family estate, far from the tour-bus circuit, followed by a tasting of their own wines and olive oil, served with complimentary light bites. Relaxed, personal, genuine.

4. São Leonardo de Galafura viewpoint

Before returning, we stop at São Leonardo de Galafura — for many, the most breathtaking viewpoint in the Douro Valley. The river bends below, vineyard terraces climb every hillside, and the photos take themselves.

5. Return to Porto

A comfortable drive back, arriving by evening — in time for dinner in the city.
