It is a genuine and authentic programme. It is an activity for those who want to get to know the Douro on the ground, in an exclusive programme, getting to know one of the areas with the most incredible landscapes, and at the same time one of the Quintas with the most history, and with the best combination of food and wine. Away from the crowds, it's like feeling the real Douro wine region and learning a little about its history, as if you were at home, or with family.

The concentration and meeting point is at Quinta do Portal, where we park the cars, and met to start the programme that begins with a walking tour of 7km, lasting around 2h30.

We walk to the wine-growing village of Provesende. A historic and small village in Douro valley, with a lot to tell. There are many reasons to shot and stop. There are several emblazoned houses in the village, and it is the wine-growing landscape, the vineyards drawn on a postcard, spread across spectacular hills and valleys. It is a very pleasant convivial walk through dirt and wine-growing context. Afterwards, we arrived at the Quinta for a well-deserved lunch, very well served, with the best flavours and the best wines. And the activity ends with a visit to the cellar and ageing cellars, to learn a little about the Port wine making process.
