Things to do in Douro Valley
Douro Valley, located in northern Portugal, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its terraced vineyards, landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. It’s one of the oldest wine regions in the world, famous for producing Port wine thanks to its unique microclimate that’s perfect for growing grapes.
No trip to the famous wine valley is complete without tasting the drink which makes this area so famous. Make sure to enjoy a glass of the famous local Green Wine (Vinho Verde), Port and DOC Douro wines which are made using this area's native grape varieties. Wine lovers can visit the vineyards, learn about traditional production methods and get up close to the action.
In addition to wine, the Douro Valley is known for traditional villages and historic estates steeped in history and Roman and Moorish influences. Enjoy the outdoors and hop on a river cruise to wind down the Douro River, or take to the hills for some hiking across scenic landscapes.

Reviews Douro Valley
“A really enjoyable day, covering a lot of bases. The lunch was great; boat trip lovely and wine tasting great. Driver, Silvino, and tour guide Rute excellent. Thanks for helping to make lasting memories of a fabulous trip to the Douro Valley.”
“Really fun and informative day. Our guide miguil was a brilliant host and the scenery was amazing.”
“Fabulous day run by two excellent hosts , Tanya and Michael, who were friendly and informative throughout. Perfect timings to each of the visits and the lunch with wine and the beautiful setting were as good as it gets. This is a really interesting trip and the scenery is stunning.”
“Well organised and the staff were fantastic at looking after their client’s needs. The trip is very interesting and enjoyable. The boat trip included was crowded and had no commentary. We were lucky to get a seat on it so that was the only downside. However it didn’t stop us enjoying the scenery”
