Escape to Porto and the North.A wine and food travel destination of excellence
This 3-day experience was specially design for wine lovers to appreciate the different options offered by Porto and the main wine regions of the North of Portugal.
On the first day be welcomed to Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage city. The day will start with an old tramway ride, and a walk & taste tour through the Porto Historic to admire the magnificent works of art. As you amble leisurely along the ancient streets and medieval lanes you will discover the highly unique shops and lively markets, where you will enjoy the stops we arrange to sip a glass of wine and nibble on a traditional specialty.
In a private reception, visit the ancient Port wine cellars full of casks with ageing Port Wine. A special VIP tasting includes a century-old Port and other rare wines. A unique privilege!
At evening, a pleasant sunset cocktail and dinner with the fantastic scenario of the Atlantic waves, the best of Porto’s maritime essence.
On the second day, depart by train or yacht to the Douro Valley wine region, with its unique terraced landscape and world class wines. Reception in an outstanding wine estate with old vineyards set in schist terraces, followed by an amazing tasting lunch, including some the best wines in Portugal. For the afternoon enjoy a culinary hands-on lesson in a traditional family wine estate, or at the Grape Harvest Festivities, in Sept-Oct, experience grape treading in the stone tanks, still used for winemaking today.
In the third day, depart to the Vinho Verde wine region with its rich traditions and great white and sparkling wines with sea dainties. Visit to Guimarães, a World Heritage city, where the castle evokes the exciting mixture of legend, poetry and heroism surrounding the beginning of the Portuguese nation in 1143. Lunch in a majestic stately home of a Vinho Verde wine producer and, in the afternoon, tour to Monção and Melgaço to taste the amazing Alvarinho wines, or go on a hands-on experience, with a local Slow Food producer, to make typical corn bread in wooden ovens.
