Cruise the Douro from Pinhão on a quiet solar boat, taste two Adega de Favaios wines, and enjoy vineyard views in a small group.

See the Douro Valley from river and hillside, with a scenic viewpoint, local winery visit, and wine tasting from Pinhão.
“The tour was great and our tour guide was wonderful. The description was a bit misleading as we thought we would be traveling on the boat to the wineries but it was two separate things. Still wonderful and would do it again.”

Review of Quinta da Formigosa near Pinhão, with vineyard views, a private tour, three wines, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“We had a very knowledgeable guide in the Quinta Da Formigosa. Reuben Carvalho was informative, thorough and passionate about his job.

Review of a seven-hour Douro Valley tour from Pinhão with a river cruise, two winery tastings, local lunch, and scenic viewpoints.
“This was a wonderful trip from start to finish! It was very organized, our guide Emmanuel was wonderful, and we enjoyed everything about the day, from the Quinta visits and wine and olive oil tastings to the drive to the viewpoints and the delicious local food and boat ride. We didn’t really know what to expect and we all loved this tour. Highly recommend!”
Cruise the Douro at sunset from Pinhão with terraced vineyard views, ambient music, and complimentary sparkling wine for $14.
“Great tour! End of the season so we ended up being the only people on the boat. Had a wonderful tour through the Douro Valley, the champagne was flowing, and learned a bit about the area and vineyards. Excellent value for the low cost”
