The Cinematic Journey
Day 1 - Porto Meets the Douro
The curtain rises at Porto Airport with a warm welcome and a bespoke Douro Legacy Kit. Your first act unfolds in the vaulted cellars of Niepoort, where rare vintages are revealed by candlelight. Lunch is prepared by a celebrated chef, each dish dancing with the wines poured beside it. By dusk, you arrive at Quinta do Vallado, where jazz drifts through the night as glasses clink during a wine-pairing dinner beneath the stars.
Day 2 - The Art of Wine
At Quinta do Crasto, you journey through time with a private vertical tasting. The Roquette family hosts you for a lunch that feels more like being welcomed into their home than a formal affair. The afternoon belongs to your hands and your palate in a “Blend Your Own Wine” workshop, your creation bottled as a keepsake. Evening descends at DOC, where Chef Rui Paula and the Douro Boys orchestrate a feast of flavors.
Day 3 - Innovation & Heritage
At Quinta de Nápoles, Dirk Niepoort himself guides you through vineyards where daring innovation lives beside centuries of tradition. After an intimate estate lunch, the choice is yours: a vinotherapy ritual at Six Senses Douro Valley, or a private tile-painting workshop celebrating Portuguese artistry. The night ends with a riverside BBQ, Douro Boys wines in hand, stories flowing as easily as the river beside you.
Day 4 - Into the Wild Douro
The morning begins on two wheels with a guided e-bike ride through hidden vineyard trails, the valley unfolding in golden light. Then, time slows aboard a 1957 vintage wooden boat for a private river cruise, live music floating over the water, and a chef-prepared lunch unfolding course by course. In the afternoon, the prehistoric rock engravings of the Côa Museum bring an ancient heartbeat to the journey. That night, you check into Casa do Rio, where a starlit picnic on the banks of the river closes the day in quiet wonder.
Day 5 - The Douro Superior
Awaken with yoga or Pilates as the sun paints the valley. A vinotherapy massage prepares you for your visit to Quinta do Vale Meão, birthplace of some of Portugal’s most legendary wines. Enjoy a rustic BBQ among the vines. The afternoon is yours to be, to sit, to breathe, to let the Douro seep into your soul.
Day 6 - A Farewell in Style
Breakfast is taken with panoramic views of the valley you now know as intimately as a lover’s face. A private transfer to Porto marks the close of your film, but not the end of its story. You leave not only with bottles of extraordinary wine but with moments etched forever into memory: laughter with winemakers, candlelit dinners, the timeless hush of the river.
