Local transport between two quinta tastings with restaurant lunch and a boat trip; travel from Porto is not included.
Douro Tours runs a day from Pinhão with a boat trip before two quinta tastings, with a restaurant lunch between visits. The tour lasts seven hours and costs from €105 per adult for 2 to 8. Departure is at 10:00 daily from the Douro Tours kiosk on Pinhão quay. You arrange your own journey from Porto. Local minivan transport links the quintas, and the day also includes Pinhão station and a viewpoint.
The catch: The 10:00 start is in Pinhão, and the tour price leaves you to arrange travel from Porto.
The day begins on the river before minivan transfers link two quinta visits, with lunch between the tastings and stops around Pinhão.
