The experience
Give the journey a place in your Douro Valley plans with this train-based experience from Porto. The published itinerary connects travel towards Pinhão with time by the river, a cruise, a winery tasting and lunch.
Travel towards Pinhão for a day combining a river cruise, winery tasting and lunch with a guide. Train tickets are purchased separately; follow the joining instructions when arranging your rail journey. Tell us about dietary or access needs before booking.
The Douro Valley's terraced landscapes and wine heritage deserve more than a passing mention. A regional day experience can complement a Porto city stay, with transport, wine, food and river elements defined by the particular option rather than assumed from the name alone.
