PORTO E DOURO VINHATEIRO

DOURO

A Região Vinhateira do Porto e Douro é Património Mundial da UNESCO em Portugal, conhecida pelas suas paisagens deslumbrantes e pela famosa produção de vinho do Porto. A região abrange o Vale do Douro, com vinhas em socalcos que se alinham nas encostas ao longo do Rio Douro, aldeias pitorescas e encostas acidentadas, tornando-a num destino cativante para viajantes que procuram cultura e natureza.

O Porto, cidade que dá nome ao vinho do Porto, fica na foz do rio Douro e é famoso pela sua arquitectura histórica e pelas caves do vinho do Porto. O Porto, com a sua atmosfera vibrante, encanto histórico e gastronomia deliciosa, contrasta fortemente com a beleza tranquila do Alto Douro Vinhateiro.

Visitar a região do Douro é de facto um despertar dos sentidos, é uma experiência imersiva que toca todos os aspectos do ser. O Douro tem uma forma de cativar os visitantes e deixar uma impressão duradoura que vai além de uma simples viagem – é uma viagem sensorial que permanece consigo muito depois de partir.

“O Doiro sublimado. O prodígio de uma paisagem que deixa de o ser à força de se desmedir. Não é um panorama que os olhos contemplam: é um excesso da natureza. Socalcos que são passadas de homens titânicos a subir as encostas, volumes, cores e modulações que nenhum escultor, pintor ou músico podem traduzir, horizontes dilatados para além dos limiares plausíveis da visão. Um universo virginal, como se tivesse acabado de nascer, e já eterno pela harmonia, pela serenidade, pelo silêncio que nem o rio se atreve a quebrar, ora a sumir-se furtivo por detrás dos montes, ora pasmado lá no fundo a reflectir o seu próprio assombro. Um poema geológico. A beleza absoluta.”

Miguel Torga em “Diário XII”

 Verified W's for this Porto Douro Crew & Experience
4 of us were greeted by Paolo with a smile as we walked on the dock and guessed which yacht was the one we'd remember from pictures. "one foot at a time!" is what I think everyone tells themselves as they board. Fortunately you have Andres waiting on the boat to help and Paolo to let you know what the journey might look like for the trip. Margarita was also part of the awesome Porto Douro crew. As soon as Andres and Paolo reach open water, we were all able to sit at the very front and take in the beauty ahead. If the weather was in for a surprise, the crew had soft blankets for us to stay cozy. When it was time for snacks, Paolo brought out Port Wine and a nice charcuterie board. Paolo is a great conversationalist and accommodated our questions, even if it was put on pause for a bit by Captain duties. The experience with the crew and having a more intimate ride will be very memorable. You'll get to enjoy friends and family, cross under bridges, learn and see one of many things that bring life to Porto.

 Verified Great cruise. Highly recommend!
My wife and I had an excellent cruise. We were the only two guest so had the boat to ourselves. The weather was perfect and we lounged on the deck with drinks and snacks. Sami was a great host and he entertained us with his knowledge of everything Portugal. The highlight of our visit to Porto!

 Verified Amazing boat ride
Our trip was outstanding! The captain and first mate made the boat ride unforgettable. Our trip was relaxing and family friendly. We loved having our own space to spend as a family. I would give this tour a 5/5 any day of the week.
