"(...) an excess of nature. Socalcos that are the footsteps of titanic men climbing the slopes (...) A virginal universe, as if it had just been born,
and already eternal for the harmony, the serenity, the silence that not even the river dares to break ..."
Miguel Torga, in "Diário XII"

We start the journey towards the Douro Wine Region, a wonderful kingdom, where Man is still governed by Nature, full of traditions and stories that last for generations!
Following one of the most breathtaking roads in the region, we will arrive at a wine producing Quinta, for a visit to the Quinta and the vineyards, in conversation with a guide, who will explain the history and production technique of the Douro wines. At the end, you will enjoy a commented tasting, in full delight with the Douro valley.
After lunch, in a traditional restaurant, you will have the opportunity to relax during a trip through the Douro River, in a "Rabelo" (a typical boat). Take the opportunity to appreciate the surrounding landscape, defined by the terraced hillsides, while you enjoy the silence that not even the river dares to break, in full harmony and serenity with nature.
Before returning to Porto, crossing historic roads and villages, we visit a second wine-producing estate to get to know a little more of the wines produced in this region, full of complexity and character.
Blessed by the hands of giants, we return to Porto.
