Grapes and Wine (4 Days / 3 Nights)
Prepare yourself to taste and to unveil the rich tradition and the specialties of family-owned and world-renowned wineries. We will drive you through the routes of Vinho Verde and Port Wine.
From Porto we go to the North, up the coast, in direction to Viana do Castelo, known as the princess of the River Lima due to its rare beauty. In Minho, the greenest region of Portugal, we can appreciate its historical and architectonic heritage, share its ruralism, its rich handicraft, and the most colorful popular culture. Unique, Vinho Verde is a mixture of flavours with a slight bite that makes it one of the tastiest drinks. We visit the cities of Braga, the country’s ecclesiastic capital and Guimarães, the cradle of the nation, before leaving to Douro World Heritage. This is port country and was, in fact, the world´s first demarcated wine region being established in 1756.
We learn how to turn the grapes into wine, visit the wine cellars, and speak with the producers, while tasting the flavored local cuisine and wine. For the last day (optional), we suggest a getting back to Porto to finish our journey at the famous Port Wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia.
