The Douro Valley

Our first stop is the Douro Valley's most celebrated woman-led wineries. Surrounded by terraced vineyards overlooking the river, we'll enjoy a guided wine tasting and lunch while learning about the family's history and the women helping shape the future of this iconic estate.

After lunch, we'll board a traditional boat for a private journey along the Douro River. As we glide past vineyards, historic wine estates, and dramatic hillsides, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the landscape that has defined this region for centuries.
