With over 15 years of experience in the wine business, my best recommendation for a comfortable and enjoyable journey is to visit two family-run wineries for tastings—one in the morning and another in the afternoon, plus delicous lunch break!
Along this scenic route, you'll have the chance to admire a unique and breathtaking landscape—majestic bridges, lush green hills with wndless terraced vineyards, beautiful olive trees and the long Douro river that make this Valley tour trully unforgettable!

Régua (douro-valley)
The Douro Valley region (isn't only about the wine), it's also about culture, people and ancient traditions, it's about food, drinking and memorable nature experiences. It's immensely wide, beautiful and fully covered of incredible little villages and endless vinyeards up on sculptured terraces, dozen of rivers and breathtaking landscape all around...
Traditional or Fine Dinning
You'll decide accordingly to your preferences or budget the kind of food (lunch) experience you want to...
Amazing restaurants can be found in the region, some wineries have their own private kitchens or even offer picnicking options for a nice sunny day outdoors.
Pinhão (Port wine territoire)
Normally our tours are divided in three different parts, after lunch we'll suggest another visit and tasting (in order you can appreciate and understand) the diversity of table wines, port wines or even olive oil...
Just to give you an idea, this region has hundreds of different grape varieties and "blended" wines are probably the most wanted ones.

Nancy C.
“Lovely Douro Valley ”
The day started off a bit, dreary, weatherwise. But Rui made it a perfect day. The drive to the valley was lovely, but the valley itself is spectacular. Rui and our driver were fun and informative. We had a lovely river cruise, and then we were taken to a spectacular family winery -Pedro Milanos- for tastings, of not just wine, but the olive oil and strawberry jam that they also homemake. . And finally an amazing lunch at a local restaurant. Can’t say another good things about the Porto Butler and this tour.

“Highly recommend travel with Rui”
We had an enjoyable experience with Rui. He picked us up on time in Belmonte, and drove safely to Porto, with stops along the way in Coimbra and Aviero. We toured the University and other stops in Coimbra, and took a boat ride along the canal in Aviero. Rui was very accommodating to our schedule, and easy to work with. Highly recommended.

Dear Zegen family thank you for the lovely day together! We had very inspiring conversations indeed. Hope to see you soon, Best Rui

Lisbon to Porto + 2 hour Stop in Aveiro or Nazaré
If you're planning to visit both Porto and Lisbon, my best advice is: pick a couple of stops on the road for visiting or lunch. You'll feel the different cultural and historical vibes. Enjoy the drive of a knowledgeable driver and a comfortably luxury car for your family or friends, toddlers and pets are welcome too.

Braga & Guimarães City Tour
Braga with it's prestigious centenary university is an amazing retreat for those who appreciate historical background. Amazing Roman buildings, old churches and capital of Catholic Bom Jesus sanctuary. A lot to explore indeed! Guimarães, on the other hand, is the "birth of Portugal ", where our very first king [D. Afonso Henriques] settled and nominated Portucale as an independent country . An exciting and vibrant village to discover!

Coimbra University- 700 years of Culture
Either you're staying in Porto or Lisbon áreas, I'll pick you up anywhere your location is and explore the way to Coimbra with other possible stops on the way. I'll create an incredible itinerary for a full day journey that may include Nazaré, Óbidos, or Aveiro visits in between this unique experience of a private winery visit and lunch with wine maker Rui Prior!

During the tour we will visit a vinho verde winery and have a tasting and we will visit the beautiful city of Amarante. We will use a Range Rover Evoque for transportation.
