You leave Lapa Church daily at 8:30 with up to 19 people. The boat trip lasts 50 minutes. The full day options visit 2 quintas, with pickup on the option for up to 8 people and the private tour.

What is included

Options and departures

All options leave daily at 8:30: the 7 hour half day visits 1 quinta and the 9 hour tours visit 2. Pickup comes with the shared option for up to 8 people or the private vehicle; the minibus options meet at Lapa Church.

Means: Choose the 7 hour option for lunch and a boat trip; take a full day option for 2 quinta visits.

Meeting point and pickup

Minibus departure

The minibus leaves Lapa Church at 8:30. Both the half day and the full day minibus use this meeting point.

Pickup options

Pickup belongs to the shared option for up to 8 people and the private tour. You select a listed location; the collection time arrives the day before.

Private vehicle

The private option reserves the vehicle and guide for your party. Quinta visits and other venues can still include outside visitors.

Breakfast and seats

Eat before you leave; there may be no break before the first activity. For children aged 1 to 3 you bring your own car seat.

If you choose the option with pick up included ("Group Tour - Up to 8 people" or "Private Tour"), you will receive the exact pick-up time the day before by email, text, or WhatsApp. Also, you will have available a range of locations and hotels to choose from, please select the one closer from your accommodation. Pick-ups at the predetermined locations are only for customers that bought that option ("Group Tour - Up to 8 people" or "Private Tour").

The booking page lists the 15 pickup points.

Who it is for

Take the half day if you have 7 hours and want lunch at a quinta with a boat trip. The tasting stays at one estate. You can use the full day options for 2 quinta visits if you can allow 9 hours.

For later Porto plans, Living's half day costs from €59 per adult with a planned 14:30 return; traffic can delay it. For a later start, Afternoon Escape leaves at 13:30 from €55 per person; lunch is not in the price.

Means: The 8:30 half day departure from Lapa suits you if 1 quinta is enough and lunch matters.

Not for

• Travellers expecting 2 quintas on the half day
• Parents of children aged 1 to 3 without their own car seat
• Anyone relying on an exact return time

In harvest: book your September or October place ahead even for the half day. The tasting doesn't include grape treading.
