Private Douro Valley Grape Harvest Tour w/ Wine Tasting & Lunch
Overview
Your day begins in Porto, the unconquered city. You start the tour and head east, where the Douro awaits you. As you approach your winery for the day, you start seeing the beautiful vineyards that surround it. You finally arrive at the wine estate and start by visiting the estate gardens.
In the late morning, you will have a wine and appetizers tasting assisted by the Oenologists of the Estate. Already with a bit of wine in our system to cheer you up, you go to the vineyards to start the grape picking. Out here you need to earn your lunch, so only filled up baskets are accepted. The Douro is famous for still doing some of its wine by stomping your feet, so now it’s time for you contribute to the tradition: all to the lagar.
All this activity probably made you thirsty so we step into the Sanctuary of Moscatel to discover this delicious nectar they’ve been making for more than 100 years. Because you did your job right, you’ll be awarded a delicious Douro regional lunch paired with the estate white and red.
To end your time at the winery on a high note, you’ll taste a sparkling wine made in the area. Then you will get back in the car and drive down the road to visit two of the most beautiful viewing points of the region. On the way back to Porto you’ll drive next to the Douro river on one of the most beautiful roads of the Valley.
