Private Tour

Discover the tradition of Port and Douro wines on a 3-hour private walking tour through Vila Nova de Gaia, accompanied by a local guide exclusively for your group.

Walk through the historic wine lodge district and visit three carefully selected producers. Learn about the history of Port wine, its production process, the characteristics of its different styles and the importance of the Douro River in the development of this tradition.

Throughout the experience, enjoy a total of 9 Port and Douro wine tastings. Each visit offers a different perspective on the region’s wines and introduces you to wine houses with their own identities and traditions.

Between tastings, walk through the streets of Vila Nova de Gaia and discover the historic connection between the city, its wine lodges and the transportation of wines from the Douro Valley.

Your guide is private, but the wine lodges and tasting areas may be shared with other visitors. The order of the visits and the wines served may vary according to producer availability.
