Private Douro Wine Lovers' Tour: Vineyard Walk, Boutique Family Winery and Hotel Pickup

This private tour is about wine and how it is made, and it suits real wine lovers best. The day moves through producers with very different backgrounds and approaches. Some wines are simple, elegant and fruit forward. Others are traditional, bold and prestigious, and some come from non-conformists who make creative, out-of-the-box bottles. By the end, guests know enough about Douro labels and styles to choose wines wherever they go. Lunch brings local cuisine paired with more wines, on the program though not included in the price. The guide is as enthusiastic about wine as the guests, and the route runs through what may be the most scenic wine region in the world.
