One of my best trip ever. The charm of Douro Valley is indescribable and the "Quintas" are fantastic. Driving in Douro is not easy, the roads are narrow but the landscape is unique.

Wake up to the beautiful Douro landscape and recharge your batteries with a fantastic breakfast at the hotel. The Private Driver/guide is waiting for you in the Lobby of the Hotel.

Quinta da Pacheca, one of the most known properties of the Douro, stands out for having been the first to bottle wine under its own brand. The first reference to the Quinta is in a document dated of the 17th April 1738, where it is called "the Pacheca" because its owner was then D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira. You will be guided by the Quinta and you will get to know its history, as well as the Vineyards, "Lagares", Old winery, Wine cellar, the wine-making processes of the wines of Pacheca with tasting of 2 table wines and 2 Port wines.

Then, you will have a cuisine workshop, led by the Chef of the Pacheca Wine House Hotel. This is a great way to relax, learn and enjoy the richness of the appetizers and "petiscos" of the Portuguese gastronomy. With this activity it is intended that you will interact with the Chef participating in the making of the meal, learning or developing your knowledge for the food. In the end, you can taste the dish made.

After lunch, discover the Quinta do Vallado Winery. Quinta do Vallado belonged to the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira and remains to this day as property of her descendants. It is located on the banks of the River Corgo, a tributary of the Douro River, right next to the river mouth near the town of Peso da Régua.For nearly 200 years the Quinta do Vallado was primarily engaged in the production of Port wine, subsequently marketed by Casas Ferreira (that belonged to the Family).After Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, her great grand-son - Jorge Viterbo Ferreira and her great-great grand-son - Jorge Cabral Ferreira - were responsible for the great development and growth of the Quinta. The new barrel cellar, with high-quality architecture, built in 2009, combines the latest technology with a high quality architecture that makes this Quinta one of the places to visit in the Douro Valley. You will have a Tour in the Winery and Wine Cellar with a Vallado Wines Tasting.

Your dinner will take place at Castas & Pratos, a luxury restaurantlocated in an old railway station, in Régua, near Quinta do Vallado, with a refined wine list.

Several are the awards, international and national, that prove the unique quality of this restaurant, in publications such The New York Times.

After lunch, you will discover Quinta Nova, Nossa Senhora do Carmo250 years ago, the traditional Quinta Nova winery, owned by the Amorim Group, was harvesting its first grapes.

End of day.

Day 5


Breakfast at the Hotel followed by Check-out. The Private Driver/guide is waiting for you in the Lobby of the Hotel.

You will enjoy a cultural break in Lamego. The culture, architecture, heritage, historical center justify a visit.

The Lamego Castel, within the urban area, Ex-libris of the town, from the top of its walls can be sighted the waters of the rivers Coura, Balsemão and Varosa. The construction of the castle began in the 13Th Century with the goal of protecting the city inhabitants. In the 17th century, a niche in homage to Our Lady Nossa Senhora da Graça was erected.

Then, you will visit the Lamego Museum. An astounding collection of ancient art and artifacts, including a fully reconstructed chapel dripping with gold, is displayed within the walls of an18th century bishop’s palace. Among the many highlights are the set of paintings by one of Portugal’s most renowned painters, Grão Vasco, 16th century Flemish tapestries that depict the Greek legend of Oedipus and colorful 17th Century panels Azulejos (paited tiles).

Nearby is the Lamego Cathedral, a succession of different styles from various periods can be seen on both the outside and inside of Lamego cathedral, and yet, despite this, the building as a whole exudes a sense of beauty and monumentality. The tower windows are the oldest surviving feature, with their delicately carved capitals providing one of the finest examples of the twelfth-century Romanesque style of architecture. In 1738, Nicolau Nasoni was commissioned to paint the vaulted ceilings. The brightly-coloured and well-preserved frescoes taught those worshippers who could not read or write about various episodes in the Old Testament. And in the chancel of this ancient church, there is yet another delightful highlight: an eighteenth-century marble and gilded altarpiece and two beautiful organs dating from 1753.

Finally, the Shrine Lady of Remedies in Lamego. From one of the central avenues in Lamego, climb to the top of the hill up an imposing baroque staircase with 686 steps ending in a shrine built in the rocaille style in the mid-eighteenth century for the worship of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, although it was not completely finished until 1905. The same Nicolau Nasoni who painted the cathedral ceilings designed some of the baroque works that decorate this monument, in particular a very beautiful granite fountain next to the shrine itself. Various landings enrich the monumental staircase with interesting sculptures, making the long climb of the pilgrims less arduous.

The Private Driver will drop you off at Porto Airport (OPO) or city of Porto.
