The tour was super interesting and at the end we tried for free 2 of the wines. They were delicious( at the end you have the opportunity to also buy the wine which is actually sold for a good price).

“The Douro River boat & train ride was fantastic! A highlight of our trip for sure. Carlos was our guide.

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 18 reviews · from $125

Régua to Pinhão by Douro cruise and train, with farm lunch and 5-wine tasting at a century-old estate in the Douro Valley.

“If you are looking for a tour from Regua, this is your answer. This was a fantastic tour. We were looking for a tour that left from Regua where we were staying, and could only find them leaving from Porto. Then we found this. It was an intimate tour with only 8 people. The tasting at Quinta dos Mattos was really great. They gave us more tasting than advertised and the surprise was a 40 year Tawny Port that was amazing. The lunch that followed at Quinta Da Laceira in Guiaes, Vila Real, was also really good with three course meal and two more wines. Following lunch we had a…”

7.Wine Tasting with Lunch at a Quinta, Cruise, and Train Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 6 reviews · from $171

Douro Valley day trip from Porto with 5-wine tasting, family-farm lunch, 2-hour cruise to Pinhão, and a return by Miradouro train.

“Plus: wine and port tasting was very interesting, with explanations from Helena and a chat with Isabella (her jams are +++). The lunch was excellent and the owner very friendly. Minuses: no guide to explain the history of the region, our driver friendly but shy (perhaps language barrier ...). On the boat not too many developments / train: nice ride but we could have taken boat and train independently of the excursion by ourselves. Value for money not very well balanced.”
