Exclusive lunch at a private estate, prepared by our beloved Aunt Minda. In this unique experience, you’ll be welcomed to a private Douro estate for a lunch that is anything but touristy. We prepare these meals exclusively for our travelers, ensuring an intimate, relaxed, and truly authentic atmosphere. The lunch is made by our famous Aunt Minda, guardian of family recipes and Douro tradition. With skilled hands and a generous heart, she serves homemade dishes made from fresh regional ingredients — always accompanied by local wines and warm hospitality. This is not a restaurant. It’s a home. And for that reason, every meal is special: made with time, soul, and the care of someone who loves to welcome guests. Here, you’ll feel like part of the family.

Jeep safari through the vineyards — a peaceful journey through nature and tradition. After lunch and a visit to the estate and its private chapel, we embark on a jeep tour through the vineyards. We understand that the word “jeep” might bring to mind extreme adventures or rough trails, but here the experience is different. Our safari is calm, relaxing, and designed for you to enjoy the landscape with tranquility. It’s a pleasant and comfortable way to get up close to the vineyards, feel the region’s atmosphere, and appreciate the natural beauty that makes the Douro so special. A gentle and authentic experience that prepares your palate and senses for what comes next: more wine, more stories, and more Douro.
