Douro Valley Premium Tours - Private Driver & Guide
Overview
This tour is unique not only for its stunning views, but also for the opportunity to experience two distinct realities within the region. You'll visit a small, family-owned business that has been producing wines and olive oils for four generations, and a larger winery that utilizes modern technology to create award-winning Ports. This contrast will provide a clear understanding of the diverse approaches to winemaking.
Another unique aspect of this tour is the diverse selection of lunch options. We take the food experience seriously and want you to enjoy top-quality local cuisine. Here are your choices:
1. A mid-range restaurant offering delicious dishes made with fresh, local ingredients;
2. A high-end restaurant;
3. A Michelin-starred chef's restaurant for an unforgettable culinary experience (closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays).
What's Included
- Snacks Nuts & raisins, granola bars, etc
- Alcoholic beverages Wines and port wines tasting.
- Bottled water Water available throughout the tour.
- Air-conditioned vehicle
