Private Douro Valley Port Wine Tour with Pinhao Tasting, Viewpoints and Tavern Lunch

This private day is about port and how it is made, in the region where it comes from. The story runs from the soil and the shale terraces to sun exposure, from grafting and grape variety to the lagar and the barrel, and finally to the bottle and the table. The route visits wine villages where port culture shows in the streets, the houses and the people. Along the way you learn the difference between a Tawny and a Ruby, a dry white port and a sweet one, a Late Bottled Vintage and a Vintage, and the Single Harvest ports. Wine and port producers share what they know through the glass. The day includes a private tasting of a wide selection of Douro Valley wines.
