Know before you go

Porto pickup

Porto hotel pickup is included on the 3 road tours. Meridian4People also collects from apartments or the cruise port, while Portugal by Wine offers airport pickup. Be ready 15 minutes early for Meridian4People and 3Ts, or 30 minutes early for Portugal by Wine. Opo Boat Tours meets at Gate C inside Douro Marina, with no road transfer included.

Tour prices

The lowest price can depend on filling the vehicle. Meridian4People’s displayed price needs 8 to 30 travellers, and Opo Boat Tours needs 8. Portugal by Wine’s displayed price needs 6; the 3Ts group price covers up to 4. The buttons open the booking page, where you choose the option and pay the price shown for your party.

Children on tours

Portugal by Wine accepts bookings for ages 18 to 65. Its infant note does not create a child booking option. Meridian4People and Opo Boat Tours use a single age band from 0 to 99, and 3Ts uses the group price. Ask for the correct child seat when arranging your road pickup, since both Meridian4People and 3Ts list infant seats.

Booking and cancellation

The first 3 tours offer instant booking confirmation. You can cancel until 24 h before departure for a full refund; later cancellations receive no refund. Portugal by Wine needs operator acceptance after booking. It gives no refund if you cancel, so agree your party’s eligibility and meal requirements before committing to this option.

Quinta clothing

Bring your mobile ticket for all 4 tours. Wear shoes you can walk in for quinta visits. Quinta Nova’s restaurant accepts smart trainers, but refuses sportswear and ripped jeans. Leave beach flip-flops and denim shorts out of your dinner plans, or bring a change of clothes for the meal.

Douro seasons

September and October are the harvest months for planning quinta visits. Arrange visits and meals ahead. Quinta Nova’s restaurant closes from 23 to 27 December, which affects the dinner stop on Portugal by Wine’s route. Ask for a revised programme before choosing those dates; a daily departure schedule does not mean that every restaurant opens daily.
