Exploring Douro valley and its beauty

Discover the beauty of the Douro Valley on a guided tour from Porto. Visit two wineries and learn about the production of Vinho Verde, or Green Wine, as you take in the stunning scenery of the region. Start your journey with a scenic drive along the Douro and the Tâmega rivers. Let yourself be stunned by the lush greenery around you. Once at your destination, head up to your first winery. Visit a small producer located in an amazing amphitheatre, surrounded by vineyards in the most picturesque place. Visit the cellars, feel the warm welcome of the locals, learn about their wines, and try them. It will be hard to leave, but there’s more. Your second winery is by the Douro river. Let your sight enjoy the vineyards blend with the river in the background in an amazing scenario. Their wines match this paradise. Feel again the friendliness and the warmth of the locals. When the time to get back arrives, leave with a better understanding of Green Wine and why it is not green and willing to come again one day.

We’ll start in the morning with a medium size producer located in a lovely manor house which was built between the 12th and the 18th century. After a tour around the house, your first taste will take place: one “alvarinho” and one white “vinho verde” will be paired with some local delicious treats. A short drive to the second winery will follow and there you are going to experience an authentic small producer located in a picturesque property where the owner himself will welcome you warmly and will tell you precious information about green wine.

We’ll head then to Guimarães, the first capital of Portugal and a UNESCO heritage site. This is where we’re going to have a truly genuine Portuguese lunch, with delightful meal options and, of course, green wine. A nice digestive walk through the narrow streets of Guimarães will complete our journey before we head back to Porto.

By the end you’ll understand better Green Wine and why it is not green and you will be knowing much more about the first steps of Portugal as an independent kingdom and nation.
