2.VALE DOURO, Premium Wine Tour, Wine Lunch, Private Boat

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 362 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $163Top rated

Travel from Porto in a small group of up to eight with guides such as Vasco, Luis, David, Rui, or Filipe. Visit two wineries, taste about 10 Portuguese wines, enjoy a farm lunch with pairings, cruise the Douro in a private company boat, and stop at scenic viewpoints.

“Our Tour guide was David. We had an 8 person tour. Perfect size and a great group of people. David was attentive and thorough during the drive. He made sure that we stopped to see several of the vista views. Learned about cork trees and their markings as well. The boat tour with the light snacks and spritz was a nice add, it didn’t feel as touristy due to the small group. The family style lunch was a good introduction to the Duoro wine. And surprising enough, the food was good. All in all, it was a great tour and worth the money. Thanks David!!”
