Enjoy Porto from the Douro on a fully private 2-hour cruise aboard a Portuguese boat from 1963. This experience is designed for guests who value good wine, local flavors, personal hosting and time to enjoy the river without crowds.
During the cruise, taste 4 carefully selected Portuguese wines from smaller or lesser-known producers, accompanied by small local pairings. The wine selection may vary, but quality is always the priority.
Sail beneath Porto's 6 bridges and along the historic waterfronts of Ribeira and Villa Nova de Gaia while learning about the river, the city and the wines in a relaxed and informal way.
This is not a formal wine class and not a shared group cruise. The boat is reserved exclusively for your party, up to 6 guests, allowing the experience to remain personal, comfortable and unhurried.
AlmaDouro is a small local family-run project, and every cruise is prepared with the same care we would offer to friends visiting Porto.
What's Included
