Two small local wineries, lunch and an 1-h boat tour

Why choose this tour of the Douro Valley instead of many others? Well… Many tours claim to be “the best” — and honestly, we all visit amazing places. What truly sets us apart is how you connect with our description, our photos, our reviews… and with us. What makes this tour different? I’ve carefully selected small, boutique wineries for this experience — intimate, often family-run places you won’t find in most guides. Some I discovered myself and personally invited to open their doors to visitors. We visit two of these local wineries. It's a casual and authentic visit, with craft wines and a short visit to the winery itself, simple, local, and full of character.. Are small wineries better? That depends on what you’re looking for. If you value a quieter, more personal experience, this tour is likely for you. If you prefer large-scale commercial visits, we might not be the right fit — and that’s perfectly okay. And the boat ride? We travel by van to the Douro Valley, like everyone else, and not by boat (as it's over 130 km from Porto), then enjoy a peaceful 1-hour cruise in Pinhão (30 min upriver, 30 min back) . It’s not really about the boat — it’s about the stunning views you can only see from the river, which are accessible just by boat. What about Lunch? We have a selection of traditional restaurants with traditional food with great meat, fish or vegan options.
