About this experience
Wine, music, Porto, and good company — all aboard.
This is a shared tour for those who want to get to know the Douro in a relaxed and fun way. We sailed under the 6 bridges between Porto and Gaia, while tasting Portuguese wines, sharing snacks, and enjoying the music and atmosphere on board.
With a maximum of 10 passengers, it is also a great opportunity to meet people from different parts of the world, toast, take photos, and simply enjoy the moment.
During the sunset experience, we headed towards the mouth and the Atlantic, to watch the sun disappear on the horizon whenever navigation conditions allowed.
It's not just a wine tasting nor just a boat trip. It is a social experience in the Douro, made to toast, share, and create good memories.
