Portugal: Wine and Dine in the Douro Valley
A long-time destination for curious wine lovers, the Douro Valley in Portugal is the world’s oldest wine region. Home to plummeting terraced vineyards and dotted with traditional quintas that have been passed down from generation to generation, this exclusive wine experience takes you through secret cellar doors to sip on the finest vintages the region has to offer. From getting up close and personal with centurion vines to swooping high above the valley in a private helicopter, join us as we take you on the ultimate wine experience in the Douro Valley.
From Vine to Wine
Famed for its Port wines, the first stop of the day takes you to one of the Douro Valley’s finest Port wine producers. With over 70 hectares of terraced vineyards planted across amazingly steep land, join one of the estate experts on a guided tour through the estate to understand the process of vine to wine. Explore the giant lagares, a spectacle to witness during the Portugal harvest season, before an exclusive wine tasting hosted by the winemaker or viticulturalist.
