Day Trips from Vila Real

Douro Tour, Lunch at an Award-Winning Winery and Private Cruise

Fantastic Day Trip

We had booked this tour after reading various reviews and doing the research. This tour and our guide for the day Vasco was fantastic and well worth it. Great day, great food and even better wine and port. Finished off with boat trip down the valley. Thanks Vasco and all the team that made this a super day.

Douro Valley Wine Experience with a Sommelier

Douro valley wine tour with Sommelier

We spent an amazing day with Mikael Pereira, our guide visiting the Duoro wine region, an amazing winery and a beautiful farm. Mikael was very informative and had many interesting stories to tell and kept us entertained throughout the day. The scenery was simply incredible! The visit to Quinta Do Beijo winery was interesting, entertaining and the owner very charming. The wines were so good! We visited a lovely local restaurant in Pinhao where we had a delicious lunch and then went on a river boat cruise on the Duoro river. After we visited a beautiful farm, Quinta de Montouro where the most charming owner talked to us about his farm, his winery and his family history. We tasted his wines and some tasty snacks. This tour was the highlight of my trip to Portugal, I can't say enough good things about Mikael and the experience he took us on. I would highly recommend this adventure!

Mateus Palace, History, Art and Douro Wines

It would be a shame to walk past without stopping!

A little surprised to see so few reviews, because the place is superb and full of history, it is definitely worth stopping there 2 hours to visit the gardens and the richly decorated Casa. There is a guided tour of 25' and another of 50, the first seemed already detailed, even if it was by audio-guide
