Douro Valley Private Day Trip including Boat Ride & Wine Tasting

About this experience

Set off from Porto to explore the Douro Valley with a local host. Along the way, you’ll stop at scenic viewpoints, peaceful villages, and cultural spots. Enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the Douro River and taste local wines at a traditional winery, all in one day!

You’ll cruise along the Douro River on a short boat ride, visit Quinta do Infantado for a wine tasting, and explore Pinhão with its charming tiled train station. Between stops, you’ll enjoy plenty of opportunities to take in the views and learn about the valley’s history, culture, and traditions. It’s a relaxed, well-planned way to experience more than just the city of Porto.

And with a convenient pick-up and drop-off, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
