Exclusive Port tasting holidays in the Douro Valley

Ready to discover the best Douro wine tours the valley has in store for you and your friends, family or co-workers?

Port wine is arguably one of the most celebrated fortified wines in the world and the Douro Valley is where it all begins: the grapes used to make Port grow on the steep man-made terraced vineyards of the area, where they are made into wine after the harvest. Some Douro wineries are open to visitors, so you can see it all first-hand and join in the fun, if you are in the area around harvest time. In the month of September, you are in for a treat: you can enjoy a unique opportunity to stomp on the newly-collected grapes inside a traditional lagar to get their juice flowing, alongside the quinta’s workers. While some of the men tread the grapes, others sing along to the beat of the accordion and the guitar and thanks to the exclusive access our select local travel experts have, you too can take part in this once-in-a-lifetime wine celebration.
