Intimate Douro Boat Tour with Port Wine Tastings in Porto
Set sail on the Douro River and experience Porto’s beauty with a twist—this is not just a sightseeing cruise, but also a curated wine tasting journey. Perfect for wine lovers and explorers alike, this small-group cruise blends scenic views with the flavors of Portugal’s famous wines.
Depart from Pontoon C at Douro Marina and enjoy your first wine tasting as the boat gently leaves the dock. Cruise beneath the Arrábida Bridge, past the Alfândega do Porto, and admire the greenery of the Palácio de Cristal Gardens.
Your second Port wine is served as you sail through the historic heart of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, with unbeatable views of the Luis I Bridge, the colorful Ribeira district, and the world-famous Port Wine Cellars.
The journey continues toward the mouth of the Douro River and the Douro Estuary, where river meets sea. Here, you’ll taste a superior-category wine as you relax to the gentle sounds of the water and onboard music.
