# Douro Valley Exclusive and Sustainable Experience from Porto

**Guidekin's take:** A Douro day that leans on sustainable producers and local cooking rather than the big Port houses, with hotel pickup in Porto, a stop at Pinhão station and lunch in the price. Tips are extra and the day is long. 4.99 from 79 reviews at €125 per person for 9h.

In our comparison: #10 of 41 in Douro Valley, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

An unforgettable day trip to the Douro Valley. This tour showcases the essence of the region, including its famed wine-making heritage, sustainable practices, and delectable local cuisine.

Begin your day with a convenient pick up at your hotel in Porto.

Stop for a brief exploration at Pinhão : have a moment to explore the river banks and the famous tile work at the local train station.

Continue towards the famous National road 222, one of the most beautiful roads in the world.

A 3 course lunch will be served at a local restaurant including drinks. This restaurant is specialized in Portuguese traditional cuisine and combines a natural and panoramic view with gastronomic delights.

We continue towards Quinta da Seara D'ordens: a winery located in the Douro region, known for its high-quality wines and the charm of its landscape. The wine tasting experience at this estate is a true immersion into the wine culture. 

After the tour enjoy the comfort of a drop off back at your hotel.
