  Pick-up from your Porto Hotel in a luxurious Mercedes vehicle with an English-speaking chauffeur.

  Your tour begins with a visit to Quinta Nova Nossa Senhora do Carmo, hailed as “one of the 9 must-see wineries in the world” by American Airlines. Nestled in the heart of the Douro Valley, this historic estate has been owned by the Amorim family since 1999, though it dates back to 1764. Explore the property’s storied past, with its preserved landmarks, including a creek, gazebo, the Marquis of Pombal’s 1758 stone marker, two chapels, and three centuries-old orchards. The exclusive guided tour will take you through the vineyards, the 18th-century winery, and the underground cellar. Finish with a refined tasting of Quinta Nova's premium wines: Grainha Reserve White, Quinta Nova Reserve, Quinta Nova Grand Reserve Referência, Mirabilis Grand Reserve Red, and Quinta Nova Vintage Port.

  After your vineyard visit, enjoy an unforgettable lunch at Terraçu's Restaurant. This culinary experience celebrates the essence of local gastronomy, showcasing the freshest seasonal ingredients harvested from the estate. Indulge in a menu that changes daily, guided by the inspiration of Chef José Pinto, as you savor sustainable, farm-to-table dishes crafted with the finest produce, including fresh river fish, estate-grown olive oil, and homemade jams and teas. Every meal here is a sensory journey that blends nature’s flavors with the artistry of Portuguese cuisine.

  Your journey takes you to Pinhão, where you will visit the crown jewel of Real Companhia Velha—Quinta das Carvalhas, the largest and most iconic estate in the Douro Valley. With roots dating back to 1759, this stunning property is widely regarded as the “image of the Douro,” offering breathtaking 360-degree views from its 550-meter-high mountain peak. The expansive vineyards, Mediterranean forests, and lush gardens are a true testament to the land's natural beauty. Accompanied by an Agricultural Engineer from the estate, you'll explore the vineyards and gain insight into the meticulous craftsmanship behind their world-class wines. This intimate tour allows you to connect directly with nature and the hardworking team behind the Quinta. The experience culminates at the wine shop, where you’ll savor a curated tasting of Carvalhas' finest wines, including White, Tinta Francisca, Touriga Nacional, and Vinhas Velhas, perfectly paired with a selection of artisanal cheeses and a glass of exquisite Port.

  Drop-off at your hotel in Porto.
