Discover the amazing, world-famous wine-making region in the Douro Valley with our carefully crafted Douro Wine Region hike tour. Hike up and down the terraced vineyards that were built from the schistose rocks from the river up to the hill tops and delight in the rich regional cuisine tasting the world-famous Port and Douro wines from the region.
This self-guided hike tour begins in Sabrosa, birthplace of Ferdinand Magellan and one of the most emblematic towns in the region. Walk along trails through scenic environments, discovering gems such as the noble wine-making village of Provesende and Lalim—a stopping place on the Cistercian monk’s wine route. You will also visit Pinhão, a town in the heart of Douro where the majority of the finest Port and Douro wine estates are located.
Enjoy a serene boat ride on a rabelo, used for shipping young wines downriver to the warehouses in Vila Nova de Gaia, across from Porto. While the monumental city of Lamego invites you to discover local sparkling wine, the typical villages among the terraced vineyards above the Douro River offer breathtaking landscapes that will leave you in awe.

My most memorable experiences were in Lisbon and San Sebastian, We had three days in each one and it made a big difference in getting use to exploring on our own, as they both became familiar to us. I loved being able to walk part of the Camino de Santiago. The tour included that option and it was such a beautiful section. Finally, Pamplona was so amazing when we got to visit the bull-fighting museum in a private home.
We felt so special to have that exclusive opportunity. P.S. the food and people were so wonderful, it truly made the whole trip!

As a senior I found the two longer mileage days a bit of a challenge but overall it was a great walking holiday. The hotels and the food were excellent. I especially enjoyed the boat trip, as well as walking the final three days to Santiago, like real pilgrims. The medieval border town of Tui was fascinating. I loved the stone and water route on Day 6. Sadly we had to walk the last 5 miles to Santiago in the rain, which was disappointing. The scenery was varied along the way although I found some sections alongside the road tedious.
