What is included

Options and departures

The single option covers a private guide and vehicle with lunch and the shared rabelo trip. Departure is at 8:00 every day.

Means: Book the 8:00 departure if you want your own guide and lunch arranged; choose another tour for a later start.

Meeting point and pickup

Porto pickup

Collection and return are within Porto city. Give your hotel or apartment address when booking.

Outside Porto

Guests staying outside Porto use a meeting point arranged by Oporto Sensations Tour.

Your vehicle

The car and guide are reserved for your party; other passengers share the rabelo trip.

Pick-up and drop off in the city of Porto. If you are staying outside Porto city, we will tell you an alternative meeting point.

Who it is for

Choose this if your party wants its own wine guide for nine hours, with two quinta tastings and restaurant lunch arranged. The boat remains a shared outing. You need to be ready for the 8:00 start in Porto; staying outside the city means travelling to an agreed meeting point.

If you can share the guide and vehicle, Oporto Sensations' shared day includes lunch from €199 per adult with Porto pickup. Choose Sommelier Tours from €365 per adult if three producer visits matter more than the boat. Lunch is outside that price.

Means: The single 8:00 option fits a private party wanting lunch arranged, provided you accept sharing the boat.

Not for

• Anyone needing a private boat
• Guests who need accommodation pickup outside Porto
• Travellers needing a departure after 8:00
