Douro Valley Tour: Wine Tour and Boat Ride

Discover the Douro Valley (first region to be officially demarcated, in 1756!) with our Douro Valley Tour: take a day to visit the terraced vineyards along the banks of the Douro River, enjoy their wines, discover beautiful towns and take a boat ride. 

 This tour will take you to wineries for a visit and tasting and also to the small towns and villages who have become such an integral part of the scenery, from medieval bridges and renaissance churches to manor houses overlooking the vineyards and the river. Visit towns like Amarante—a medieval village by Tamega river and birthplace of San Gonçalo, Portugal’s version of St. Valentine,  and Lamego – one of the first and most important towns in the region with an unforgettable church.
