The package is perfect for those who wish to see two of the iconic Portuguese cities whilst experiencing the true Portuguese way of life, with famous wines and local gastronomy. You will firstly spend time in Porto to learn about Port, visiting a selection of renowned Port lodges. You will then travel by rail to Lisbon to discover Portugal’s beautiful historic capital city and sample more Portuguese wine. You will also have the chance to explore Lisbon’s surroundings on a trip to a traditional fishing town and to Arrábida.
Upon arrival in Porto, check into your preferred room at the 4* Carris Hotel, ideally located in the city centre. The evening will be free for you to do as you please.
Walking between each destination on day two in Porto, you will visit two esteemed port wine lodges. The famous Sandeman Port wine lodge boasts a magnificent view of Porto. Here, your English-speaking guide will accompany you through the lodges full of casks of ageing Porto wine and your visit will conclude with a tutored tasting of ten, twenty, thirty and forty-year-old aged Tawny ports. You will also enjoy a guided tour and tastings at the renowned Grahams Port wine lodge. Following your visit, you will taste three Ports in the Vintage Room; Graham’s Six Grapes, Graham’s thirty-year-old Tawny and Graham’s 2000 Vintage port. Also included in the package is a 50-minute Douro river cruise in a Rabelo boat. Rabelo boats were historically used to transport Port wine barrels from the inner Douro region to Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, where the wine cellars are located.
Portuguese cuisine is truly delicious, and you will sample many of the region’s delicacies on your trip. A traditional food and wine tasting lunch will be served in a true Portuguese setting. Whilst admiring the views of Porto from this convivial riverside bar/restaurant in Gaia, you will enjoy five courses, including a traditional grilled fish and bread dish, and a selection of artisan cheeses from the North of Portugal. The meal will be accompanied by two fabulous Douro wines and three different Ports, with water and coffee included.
On the morning of day three, check out of the hotel and make your way to Porto Campanhã station. From here, travel by train to Lisbon Santa Apolonia station. The journey time will be just under three hours. Upon arrival in Lisbon, there will be time to have lunch, relax and check in at one of the 4* hotels we recommend in the city . In the evening, take part in a fabulous four hour walking gastronomy tour with a specialist foodie guide. This is a small group tour and there will be a maximum of twelve guests. You will stroll through the charming streets of Lisbon’s lesser-known neighbourhoods, stopping at traditional eateries and cosy tascas to sample local delicacies and delicious Portuguese wines. Your tour will include a relaxed stop to enjoy tasty petiscos (Portuguese tapas) and classic dishes, and it will end with the traditional pastel de nata!
On the morning of day four, meet your guide at a central departure point in Lisbon and head into the beautiful countryside to visit your first winery — a small estate dedicated to crafting some of the region’s most exciting wines. Here, the terroir truly comes through in every sip, with the hills and the nearby Atlantic Ocean leaving their unique imprint. Expect fresh, vibrant wines bursting with colour and flavour.
After a stop for lunch (please note that lunch is not included), you’ll continue to another area of the Lisbon wine region, giving you a taste of its remarkable diversity. Here, you’ll visit a boutique estate producing wines from indigenous grape varieties, a project designed not only to create exceptional wines but also to support local rural development and preserve the region’s cultural heritage.
After your visit and tasting, your driver will take you back to Lisbon. The evening will be yours to enjoy as you please. We’d be happy to recommend some of our favourite restaurants to make your night even more special
After a leisurely breakfast on day five, check out of the hotel.
