YOUR JOURNEY ALONG THE DOURO RIVER

Rambling vineyards and charming native farms cling to the steep sides of the Douro River Valley, creating an incomparable backdrop to Port country – the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. You’ll sample Espumante, a Portuguese sparkling wine, and visit a local quinta (wine estate) for an authentic Port wine tasting. Discover the stages of wine production at the Quinta da Avessada, which houses an interactive museum commemorating the history and culture of wine. Sail roundtrip from Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges”; visit Régua, the ‘capital’ of the Douro Valley; and marvel at Salamanca, the UNESCO-designated “Golden City.” Hosted by wine expert Bradley Brown who leads tastings and a specially curated food and wine pairing dinner on board, this journey is a must for anyone interested in the best of local wine and cuisine.
