Douro and Vinho Verde: A Tale of Two Regions
Experience the contrast between two of Portugal's most celebrated wine regions in a single day. From the terraced vineyards of the Douro to the verdant hills of Vinho Verde country.
The Experience begins when we meet you in Porto. We will venture north into the Minho region, arriving at Monverde Wine Experience, a stunning hotel and winery nestled among vineyards and mountains. Here, we will embark on a guided tour of the estate, learning about the unique characteristics that define Vinho Verde wines – their freshness, lightness, and distinctive mineral notes. This will be followed by a tasting of their selected labels, allowing you to understand why this region produces some of the most refreshing wines in Portugal.
After the morning tasting, we will head to Come na 2, a family-owned renowned for its traditional and family-prepared Douro diches. Lunch will showcase the best local products of the region, perfectly paired with regional wines, offering you a true taste of Northern Portugal's gastronomic identity.
Following lunch, we will journey south towards the Douro Valley, arriving at H.O Wines Vineyard in the village of Cumieira. This modern and sleek estate has strong foundations that have been carrying the identity of the Douro Valley throughout the years, resulting in premium and exceptional wines. Through a guided tour and tasting, you will experience the stark contrast between the light, fresh wines of Vinho Verde and the robust, complex wines of the Douro – a tale of two terroirs told through their wines.
By evening, we will return to Porto, having experienced the diversity and richness of Northern Portugal's wine culture.
