Douro valley guides

The Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Portugal's top tourist attractions. For centuries, farmers have patiently nurtured grape vines planted on the terraced hillsides, ensuring today's visitors reap the benefits of that collective effort…by enjoying a bottle produced by the world-famous wineries. Take a Douro Valley private tour and explore Portugal's scenic wine region with a local guide. The Douro river begins its journey in Spain, and as it enters Portugal it carves a path through several microclimate zones that give the grapes distinctive flavours. Whether you're after a vintage Port or a full-bodied red, our guides can help you track it down. But you don't have to be a connoiseur with a discerning palette - our guides are happy to showcase the regional variations on offer to oenophiles and newcomers alike. Roads in the Douro Valley climb high above the river, so let your guide handle the driving, leaving you free to enjoy the scenery...and sip wine.
