Departure DA Douro Marina for a shared tour in a small group (max. 7). Slide under the 6 bridges that connect Porto and Gaia, between the colorful Ribeira, the basements and the sparkling light that leads to the Atlantic.
Over the course OF about 2 hours, we toasted with an informal proof OF 4 Port Wines DA Blend.PT, DE small producers from the Douro, accompanied POR small local snacks. It’s not a technical proof — it’s taste, conversation and landscape in a relaxed atmosphere.
DE day, you feel the rhythm DA the city; at sunset, the light becomes golden and the river gains a magical tone. At any time, the proof is included – all you have DE do is show up and let time slow down.
We received with care, attention and joy, as if we were welcoming friends aboard. The real luxury here is being welcomed and feeling the Douro as if it were yours.
