My name is Ricardo Manuel and I was born and raised in Porto City. Although tourism changed Porto for the best (in my opinion) for the last 5 years, me and my family had to move out from Porto, into the bush, housing and living costs became very high and we made the choice that we should move out to the countryside. In this last year 2020 and even in 2021 with a pandemic, work just fell down drastically and we had to adapt. Making Port Wine, Muscat Wine and sometimes olive oil in a amatuer way since 2014, this hobbie become my family income. With vineyards and olives fields almost abandoned from the pandemic I rolled up my sleeves and went to work, asking neighbours and friends if I could keep their grapes and olives for harvest time, their answers were immediately YES Dividing my life between Porto and Douro Valley, me and my family feel completely safe, happy and relaxed with this new way of living. Come and see my amazing town Porto and Douro Valley Wine Region from the eyes of a local !!! Hope to see you soon. Cheers !!!

You'll enjoy waking up in the morning to do this awesome tour, so get your camera ready and let's immerse ourselves into nature!
Depending on your physical shape we can plan the trails together: -Minimal, flat area on top of the hill, the view is out of this World, phenomenal viewpoints over valleys, rivers, wineries, you can also interact with the surrounding nature, centenary vineyards, olive trees, cork oak trees and shale terraces -Light trail, we can go downhill, from the top of a wine village named Provesende to Pinhao, the river side village. We walk through the village center, down narrow streets between vineyards and olive fields, the view going down Pinhão Valley is amazing, far beyond we will see the river, nearby villages and the old train track -Modified to strenuous, is to climb the hill from the train station to the wine village of Provesende, you really need legs to do this trail, sometimes we have elevation higher than 10% but it's worth it, we will pass by wineries, amazing viewpoints and forgotten villages in the middle of nowhere, in the end you will sleep better at night - Gym Master, for pros & off-road jeep
