A Douro day capped at eight that opens at Quinta da Roêda with a walk through the vines, then a second estate, wine, olive oil and honey tastings, a regional lunch and an hour on the river.

Water is included, tips are not; children must be with an adult. 4.85 from 1,480 reviews at €138 per person for 10h.
