In the heart of the Douro Valley you will have the chance to visit Pinhão. In the past Pinhão used to be an important place for commerce and transport of the wine from Douro to Porto. The wine was first commercialized and next shipped in the traditional Rabelo boat to remain aging in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river in Porto. In the village of Pinhão we stop for a 1h river cruise as well as we have lunch at a traditional local restaurant.

Well worth doing this trip if you can. The region is stunning and our guide Tuna was superb with a great knowledge of the area. Both Wineries were really interesting and both different in their type and setting. We really enjoyed the day, a lovely typical Portuguese lunch, river trip and lovely scenery. Perfect!

Fabulous day-long trip with a great guide (Henrique). His knowledge, explanations, and navigating were great. Amazing scenery with spectacular vistas. Local lunch was typical Portuguese - pork, ham, and sausage with starches (potatoes, bread, rice). River cruise was relaxing and enjoyable.

Would totally recommend Oporto Road Trips.
We were lucky to have Diana as our guide for this small group tour. Knowledgeable and professional throughout.
The smaller group allowed us to visit smaller family owned wineries. Lunch was good and given another perspective, seeing the stunning Douro Valley from the river.

Sondra was awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed each of the wine tours very much and the chance to try different ports and wines. Group of 8 was perfect size. Boat for an hour was the ideal amount of time - not too long, but a chance to see the river from the water and get some wonderful photos.
Lunch was enjoyable with our other passengers; meal was okay.
