# Douro Valley with Two Winery, Boat Trip and Lunch From Porto

**Guidekin's take:** A long Douro day that starts in Amarante and adds two guided winery visits, a lunch, a rabelo cruise from Pinhão and tastings of wine, olive oil, honey and almonds, in a smaller group. Hotel pickup is a separate option and the cruise depends on availability. 4.84 from 610 reviews at €134 per person.

In our comparison: #34 of 41 in Douro Valley, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Embark on a 10-hour journey from Porto to the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its breathtaking landscapes and renowned wines.
Begin with a stop in Amarante, a town rich in history and architecture. Then, visit Quinta do Seixo for a guided Port wine tour and tasting, surrounded by stunning vineyard views.
Enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch, savoring authentic dishes that highlight the region’s flavors. Afterward, relax with a Rabelo boat cruise, admiring the valley’s scenic beauty from the Douro River.
End your journey at the Olive Oil Museum, where you'll indulge in tastings of wines, olive oil, honey, and almonds, discovering the region’s iconic flavors.
For a shorter option, the 6-hour tour skips Amarante and heads directly to Quinta do Seixo, followed by lunch and a visit to the Miradouro de Casal de Loivos.
Choose to meet at Igreja da Lapa or opt for hotel pick-up for an extra fee. Experience the Douro’s charm, culture, and flavors in an unforgettable journey
