Itinerary

Enjoy the Douro Valley's best walks and wines between Porto and Pinhão. The Douro Valley is one of the oldest and most scenic wine regions in the world. Demarcated in 1756 under the Marquis of Pombal, it remains the world’s oldest regulated wine region and is famed for its port and increasingly celebrated table wines. This self-guided walking and sightseeing holiday offers a relaxed yet enriching way to explore the heart of this UNESCO-listed landscape. Spend three nights at a manor house on a wine estate where boutique accommodation, dining, and wine experiences are combined with an authentic and comfortable stay. Find yourself nestled among terraced vineyards and olive groves. Enjoy walks straight from the door, sample local wines, take a dip in the pool, and take in panoramic valley views. From here, descend on foot to the riverside town of Pinhão, where you stay in a 5-star hotel overlooking the Douro River, with the option of a scenic boat ride or a visit to nearby vineyards for wine tastings. A memorable train journey along the river carries you west to Porto, where you’ll spend your final night in a 4-star hotel in the city’s historic centre. This flexible itinerary blends walking, wine, and relaxation with all activities optional. With three dinners included and a mix of charming wine estate and premium hotels, this trip offers outstanding quality and comfort. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit: either for vibrant wildflowers or to witness the harvest and colourful turning of the vines.

day 1Arrive Celeirós

Make your own way to Celeiros. We recommend taking the scenic train ride through the Douro Valley from Porto to Pinhão. Here, we can support arranging a short taxi transfer to the Manor House.
Accommodation: Spend your first 3 nights at a boutique Manor House, a restored estate nestled in the heart of the Douro Valley. The property showcases original baroque architecture, elegant antique furnishings, and curated heritage details that create a sense of timeless charm. Surrounded by vineyards and peaceful countryside, the estate offers serene gardens, inviting lounges and an outdoor pool, an ideal retreat after a day’s walk. Dinner is included each evening at the on-site restaurant (a 5 minute walk across the vineyard estate) where the intimate dining room serves refined regional cuisine crafted with fresh local ingredients. Expect traditional Douro flavours presented with a contemporary twist, accompanied by wines from the surrounding valley.

Madeira Island Walking

5.0(13 reviews)

Follow the Levadas to discover the dramatic and rugged mountain scenery on the island of Madeira. Our team have devised a walking itinerary that exemplifies the best that Madeira has to offer. Traverse the terraced hillsides and follow local trails and ‘levadas’ through the peaceful, idyllic countryside and ultimately reach the island’s highest peak (Pico Ruivo, 1862 metres). Stay at a mix of 4* and smaller traditional properties in beautiful surroundings and learn more about the island through our detailed route notes. Closer to Africa than Europe, the Portuguese island of Madeira is blessed with a mild and equable climate all year round. Volcanic in origin, Madeira’s rugged interior rises abruptly to over 1800 metres, with forests of fragrant pine, eucalyptus and laurel flanking its jagged peaks. You will find colourful flowers and trees in bloom at all times of the year but the island is ideal for a walking holiday for another reason: its elaborate network of ‘levadas’ (irrigation channels), which wind their way across gullies and steep slopes to more than 2000km/1250 miles of channels and over 40km/25 miles of tunnels. *An extra day is recommended in the bustling little capital of Funchal so that you will have time to visit a Madeira wine lodge, explore the colourful markets and the famous botanical gardens, enjoy the superb fish restaurants or spend more time at the picturesque Monte neighbourhood. Another extra day can be requested in Santana where you can enjoy a beautiful walk along the Levada do Caldeirao Verde.

Surging from the Atlantic Ocean, Madeira offers a temperate sub-tropical paradise perfect for year-round walking. One of Madeira's many charms is its infinite variety; each day's walking and every levada - the island's unique network of water channels - is different. Landscapes vary from cultivated vine terraces and verdant slopes dotted with white hamlets to coastal cliffs with balcony views over the azure seas. Also a nature lover's paradise, there are over 120 endemic species of flora and fauna including the pride of Madeira, the bird-of-paradise, along with jacaranda, tiny bisbis birds, chaffinches and hawks - the list is endless. On this Self Guided hotel-to-hotel walking holiday in Madeira, the island's coastal paths and levadas take you from the sleepy wine village of Santana on the north coast to bustling Funchal in the south. Fringed with a rainbow of colourful flora, the levadas lead you inland to breezy Santo da Serra; a transfer then takes you to the Levada do Norte for spectacular views from the cliff tops.
