Private Pickup in Porto Start the day with private pickup from your hotel or agreed meeting point in Porto. Travel comfortably in a premium private vehicle toward the historic hinterland of northern Portugal. Scenic Drive from Porto to Lamego The first drive sets the rhythm of the day. As the route moves inland, the landscape gradually changes into hills, vineyards and historic towns, preparing the experience for Lamego and the wine regions beyond.

Visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, one of the most recognizable monuments in northern Portugal. Set above Lamego, the sanctuary combines baroque architecture, monumental stairways and elevated views, creating a powerful cultural opening to the day.

When timing allows, make a concise stop at Lamego Cathedral, a monument that reflects centuries of religious and architectural history. This stop adds depth to the morning for guests who appreciate Portuguese heritage and sacred architecture.

Choose Your Morning Optional Sparkling Wine Experience Select one available morning experience after booking, subject to availability and partner confirmation. The recommended option is a guided visit and sparkling wine tasting at Murganheira Cellars, one of the strongest traditional-method sparkling wine experiences in the region.

Stop in Ucanha, a small medieval village known for its fortified bridge and tower over the Varosa River. This short atmospheric visit adds historical character without slowing the pace of the day.

Scenic Drive to Ucanha and Távora-Varosa Continue from Lamego toward the quieter vineyards and villages of Távora-Varosa, one of Portugal’s most important regions for traditional-method sparkling wine.

Scenic Drive Along the N222 Toward Peso da Régua After the morning experience, descend toward the Douro via the scenic N222 road. The route keeps the river and valley landscape present, creating a natural transition from Távora-Varosa into the Douro.

Bagaúste Dam and Peso da Régua Riverfront Stop near Bagaúste Dam and the Peso da Régua riverfront / pedestrian bridge area. This moment adds texture to the day by showing the Douro as both a scenic river and a working waterway shaped by navigation and engineering.

Flexible Lunch Block Lunch is intentionally flexible and not included in the base price. You may choose a winery lunch experience, a traditional restaurant in Peso da Régua or nearby, or another suitable option depending on availability and timing.

Choose Your Afternoon Optional Experience Select one available afternoon experience after booking, subject to availability. This may be a Douro winery visit, a Port tasting, a broader wine tasting, or a Rabelo boat cruise from Régua.
