# Douro Valley Tour: 2 Vineyard Visits, River Cruise, Winery Lunch

**Guidekin's take:** Two Douro vineyards, one of them a small family estate, a winery lunch and a Rabelo cruise, sold in tiers by group size from eight to fifty people, so pick the cap you want. Gluten free and vegan lunches on request; bring your own seat for toddlers. 4.86 from 4269 reviews at €90 per person for 9h.

In our comparison: #33 of 41 in Douro Valley, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Leaving from Porto, meet your tour guide at 08:30 a.m and travel to the beautiful Douro Valley in a comfortable climatized vehicle. 
After the first stretch of the journey you will be visiting a small family owned vineyard, with a wine tasting of their own production. 
Next enjoy a scenic drive through the world famous National Road 222, to the heart of the Douro Valley (Pinhão) where we will embark on the unique experience of doing a short 45 min cruise in the Douro River, to soak in the beautiful landscape while admiring the terraced hills with the quintessential vineyards and estates that turn the margins of the Douro River into one of the most unique in the world.
Then, in order to complete this experience, enjoy a traditional lunch in a vineyard of a small-medium producer, finishing with a delicious port wine tasting, at their cellars.
After a full day of exploration and discovery, relax and enjoy your journey back to Porto.
