Boat Cruise
In the morning, enjoy a drive alongside the river to Pinhao, the geographical centre of the Douro Demarcated wine region. The Douro Valley was the first demarcated wine area in the world, going back to the 18th century. In Pinhao, you will be surrounded by vineyards, farmhouses and a breathtaking scenery. Have a glimpse of the rail-station, famous for its panels of Azulejos. The best place for lunch, if the weather is warm, is at the gardens of The Vintage House Hotel under a vine trellis. After lunch come aboard a typical Rabelo boat for a one hour private river cruise.
Set in a prime location in Cima-Corgo, on the South Bank of the River Douro, between the city of Régua and the village of Pinhão, Quinta do Seixo, with its 100 hectares, is undoubtedly one of the most traditional and grand port wine producing estates in the Douro Region. Allow yourself to be lead on a journey though the Quinta do Seixo winery with the Sandeman Don as your guide. The tour offers a first-hand demonstration of the production methods behind Portugal's most famous wine and an explanation of the characteristics which makes the Douro region so unique. At the end of the tour, allow yourself to be seduced by the Douro landscape, in the company of two glasses of delicious Port Wine.
