Detailed description

Private Porto wine tour to the grape harvest with traditional stamping of the grapes and wine tastings in the Douro Valley

The wine tour from Porto allows you to become part of the annual grape harvest. Experience the grape harvest from up-close and stomp the grapes with your feet. There is no more authentic way to discover the famous Alto Douro wine region. The all-day excursion is just right for all wine lovers who want to immerse themselves in the world of Portuguese wines in a breathtakingly beautiful setting. You will travel through the Douro Valley, which is crossed by the third largest river of the Iberian Peninsula and which, together with the vineyards, creates a unique landscape.

The trip starts in the morning in the centre of the "undefeated city", as Porto is also called. The eastbound journey takes you to a historic winery in the Douro region. At the beginning you will taste Moscatel wines in the garden of the estate with musical accompaniment. You will be right in the middle of it instead of just being there and accompanying the grape harvest. And you will take part in a popular spectacle, the grape stomping. It is an alternative to wine pressing and is used to break the grapes. The fun is accompanied by traditional Douro songs, which give the event a very special atmosphere. For those who have never experienced it before, it will be the highlight of the Porto wine tour.

Afterwards you will taste more Portuguese wines and snacks will be served. An expert will accompany the wine tasting and provide you with useful information about wine growing in the region and wine production. At lunchtime, delicious local dishes are served together with wine. A sparkling wine tasting follows. As you can see, the wine tour from Porto is a series of delightful moments in the magnificent scenery of the Douro Valley. The wine tour, starting in Porto, stops at fantastic vantage points and you can fill your holiday album with great motifs. Go on an unforgettable wine excursion in northern Portugal for one day and experience the Alto Douro region authentically and very close during the grape harvest! An all-round carefree package awaits you, accompanied by a local driver guide.
