Why this day
Three great houses, one day
This day is crafted for connoisseurs. We tour three big producers and taste their wines: Vintage Port in the morning, a long lunch paired with the estate’s wines, and old Tawnies to finish.
If it’s your first time in the Douro, our Douro Valley day is the complete introduction, with a river cruise. This page is for a deeper focus on Port.
First visit? Start with the Douro Valley from €275.

What makes it different
Vintage Port tasting at Quinta do Bomfim: a historic property with terraces from the 18th and 19th centuries, in the Symington family for five generations, and one of the quintas behind Dow’s Vintage 2011, Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year
Quinta de Ventozelo: a small village more than 1,000 years ago, where renovations after Gran Cruz bought it in 2013 uncovered traces of Roman occupation. Lunch is at its restaurant, the Cantina, with food paired with Ventozelo’s wines, followed by a vineyard tour (time permitting)
Old Tawnies at Quinta do Seixo: Sandeman’s flagship estate, for a tasting of 10, 20, 30 and 40 Year Old Tawny Ports
Truly small groups: a maximum of 5 guests, so the day stays personal and unhurried
