Join Butch on one of his most popular tours: an immersive journey through the heart of northern Portugal, from the historic waterfront of Porto to the UNESCO-protected schist terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, and then onto the Vinho Verde region, a lush expanse that transitions from high-altitude, inland slopes to the immediate Atlantic coast.
This tour is a deep dive into the region’s incredible vinous complexity: the powerful, structured dry red wines of the inland Douro, the refreshing crispness of the mineral-driven dry white wines of Vinho Verde, and the unique fortified wines of Porto.
This tour is an unforgettable experience combining the rich history of Porto, the
jaw-dropping beauty of the Douro Valley vineyards , and the vibrant flavors of Portugal’s unique indigenous grapes.
More than a wine tour—it’s an unforgettable cultural experience that includes two boat rides on the Douro, a cooking course, a wine blending experience, a hotel in a vineyard, treading grapes and participating in a grape harvest.
