What You’ll Experience

Porto
Start the day with private pickup from your hotel or agreed meeting point in Porto. Travel comfortably into the Alto Douro in a premium private vehicle while the landscape changes from coastal Porto to the terraced interior of the Douro Valley.
Scenic Drive to São Leonardo de Galafura
The first drive is part of the experience. As the route moves inland, the scenery gradually opens into slopes, vineyards, stone villages and the first signs of the Douro’s dramatic scale.
1 hour 30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Miradouro São Leonardo de Galafura
Begin the Douro experience from above at São Leonardo de Galafura Viewpoint, one of the region’s most celebrated panoramas. From this high setting, admire river bends, layered vineyards and the long horizon of the Alto Douro Wine Region.
This is the right first stop because it frames the geography of the valley before the day moves down into the vineyard landscape and riverside villages.
