Discover the Douro Valley the way it should be experienced: from the river, at the pace of the landscape. The Douro River Boat Trip to Pinhão departing from Porto is a memorable experience for those who want to see the Douro from a unique perspective — with comfort, time to take it all in, and that feeling of “this is Portugal at its best.”
The journey starts in Porto and follows the Douro River towards the heart of the wine region. Along the way, the scenery changes naturally: from the city atmosphere to vineyard-covered hillsides and terraced slopes, creating a postcard view at every bend of the river.
In Pinhão, you’ll feel the Douro even more intensely. To make the day even more special, the programme includes a visit to Quinta da Avessada, where you will have the opportunity to discover the estate and enjoy a tasting of 1 Moscatel, an aromatic and elegant wine — perfect for those who love authentic, regional flavours.
Ideal for couples, families and visitors looking for a relaxed and complete experience, combining landscapes, river cruising and tasting, without the hassle of driving or logistics.
