Private Douro Valley Wine Afternoon at Two Quintas with Pickup

About this activity

Spend an afternoon in the Douro with a local host and your own car, visiting two quintas that only open by appointment. We have the keys, so there's no ticket desk and no waiting around.

We pick you up between 14:00 and 14:30 at your accommodation in Alijó, Pinhão or the villages nearby. First stop is Quinta da Foz Tua, where the Tua river meets the Douro, for a tasting of DOC Douro wines with water and crackers. On the road to Vilarinho de Cotas we stop at the Santa Marinha viewpoint in Castedo, one of our favourite views over the terraced valley. Then it's Quinta da Levandeira, for a visit to the cellar and a tasting of Ports with nuts and dark chocolate. We drop you back around 19:00.

The car and the host are just for your group. The quintas are not open to the public, but other guests may visit by appointment, so a tasting may be shared.

Your hosts are Gonçalo and David. Ask us anything about the villages, the harvest or life in the valley.

Adults only (18+). 2 to 4 guests.
