Overview
Douro Valley
Hit the road towards Douro Valley, the world’s oldest wine region. Your journey begins with a stop on a charming family-owned wine estate, one of the best-known properties in the Douro and also one of the first to bottle wines with its own brand.
This Wine Estate is mentioned for the first time in a document dated April 1738. However, it was only in 1903 that Dom José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his interest in oenology, bought the property and began to devote to the winemaking business.
You will be warmly received and will enjoy a private tour through the cellars, followed by lectured wine tasting.
Lunch (not included) will be served in the charming restaurant of the wine estate. The building, construction of the 18th century, is decorated in an authentic style, yet with modern conveniences, and offers a gourmet cuisine based on local products, with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
Afternoon at leisure to rest and relax.

- Suggested dinner (not included) at a local restaurant overlooking the river serving a combination of flavors and traditional techniques with notes of modernity and lightness (closed on Sundays and Mondays).
