Winter day
Who it’s for
Guests who like the idea of arriving at Pinhão the way the valley was meant to be seen: from the river, by rail. The Douro line is a public regional train, so the ride is short, scenic and ordinary in the best way.
A lighter day than our cellar-and-lunch format: less time on the road, a walk through Pinhão station’s famous tiles, a guided tasting at Quinta do Bomfim and an unhurried lunch.
Prefer to stay in the car all day? See Winter Cellar & Lunch. The train is a public service and can run late; we plan the day around that and tell you in advance if the timetable changes anything.

Times are indicative. The Douro line is a public CP regional service: its winter timetable can change and trains can run late. We confirm the exact trains before your date.
Lunch and the Bomfim visit depend on their opening days, so this day is normally set for a Tuesday to Saturday. We confirm this when you enquire.
Weather permitting. If the day cannot run as planned we will suggest an alternative of the same spirit.
